yes. the flaps increase drag which slows the plane down.

How will friction affect a parachute?
How fast it flies down
How fast does the Typhoon fighter plane travel?
The Eurofighter Typhoon flies at about 1,320 mph at altitude.
What does the chores in fly like a g6 mean?
g6 is a fast plane that flies at mach 1
Why do planes have flaps on the wings?
Airplane wings are designed to be most efficient when at high altitudes, traveling fast, while providing as little drag as possible. Unfortunately this design inst the best for takeoff and landing. Flaps are used to change the shape of the wing to accommodate takeoff and landing requirements. Most planes have flaps on the front of the wings (leading edge flaps) and at the back of the wings. During takeoff flaps increase lift so a plane can take off with limited runway length and lower speeds. As the plane gains speed the flaps are retracted. On approach and landing you want to fly as slow as possible so the flaps are deployed in increments till landing speed is achieved. Landing slower means less runway needed to stop.
How fast does a Cirrus SR22 plane fly?
Cirrus SR22 flies with top speed of 405 kph.
What is the difference between the way a helicopter flies and the way a jet engine plane fies?
A helicopter is rather designed for hovering than fast moving. That is why they are used in rescuing and other purposes. A jet engine plane moves fast in the forward direction and they are designed for fast transport.
How fast can a plane stop?
it depends on the plane
How fast the b2 go?
The plane flies at Mach 0.85 (487 knots, 560 mph, 900 km/h) while at an altitude of 40,000 ft.
What sound is created by fast vibrations?
A buzzing sound is what you will hear when something is vibrating very fast. For example, a bee flaps its wings so fast and that is what makes the buzzing sound that you hear.
What technology makes the airplane fly?
A modern commercial airplane uses Turbofan Engines, which uses fans and compressors to suck in massive amouts of air. This air is then distributed into a bypass chamber and a core. In the core the air travels through more compressors, squeezing the air. Then the air is mixed with fuel and ignited. This fast and hot air is then pushed through spinning turbines, then mixed with the cool air from the bypass chamber and released through the nozzle at the end of the engine as thrust. This thrust creates a forward push. An airplane flies because its wings are shaped like aerofoils. Aerofoils are shaped like teardrops that curve downward, where the air that travels on top is faster and has lower pressure and the air that travels under is slower and has higher pressure. This ratio of pressure sucks the wing up into the air and sustains its flight. The plane must be moving forward to keep air moving around the wings, so these Turbofan Engines are used to pull the aircraft forward. To steer the plane, special flaps are used. There are many different kinds, including Ailerons, Elevators, Spoilers, the Rudder, and Flaps. Ailerons control the plane when it dips to either side, elevators control the plane when it points upward or downward, spoilers act as air brakes and slow the plane, the rudder turns the plane, and the flaps slow down the plane a lot for landings. These different flaps do what they do because they slow or stop the airflow around portions of the wings.
Is a plane really fast?
yes a plane is very fast compared to a car it goes about 30 times faster than a car while the plane is taking off
Can an electric train go faster than plane?
A fast train can be faster than a slow plane. But even a regular plane will be faster than fast train.
