In the Powering the wing section it states that a reduction in engine power production defies the purpose of the wing. I would suggest it would be better stated as Powering the wing requires air from the engine which reduces the available thrust. This also means that when the engine is at a lower thrust setting there is less air available for the wing. This is unfortunate as more air is needed during landing to aid control at low speed. Because of this the buccaneer tended to land with high thrust settings and used airbrakes to keep it's speed down to ensure that it had air for its blown flaps.

Blown Flaps?

Article states earlier versions were called blown flaps. I could be mistaken, but from reading this and the abstract for paywalled ref., it seems these were never implemented in a production aircraft after over 60yrs of study, while blown flaps have been used in many cases. These seem more like an idea that hasn't panned out than something that replaced blown flaps, as the current phrasing implies. Fitzhugh (talk) 05:00, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
