Question:

Does this B767 take-off without any flaps? (If yes, is it normal that the 767 don't use flaps for take-off)?

I just know for sure that the A300 takes-off without flaps, but the B767, too?

  1. Hmm... interesting. I think his slats were extended tho. My guess is that he was quite heavy so doing an improved climb.


  2. The Fokker 100 and CRJ-200's do not have leading edge devices.  They call them "hard wings."

  3. Looks like flaps 1 (slats out, flaps in).  Light weight, cool, long runway.

  4. You don't really need flaps if the winds are good, runway is long, you have cool air, and a light load. It saves fuel.

  5. Damnest thing I ever saw. I remember a crash once that happened because the flaps were not set due to pilot error. I flew on a Fokker-100 once and was surprised to see that it didn't appear to have any leading edge slats usually seen on most airliners.  I've seen at lot of videos of wings in flight Flight Level 350 and have never seen a plane take off with a clean wing like that.  I wonder if the the leading edge slats were deployed.  Interesting. Here's a link to Flight level350.

  6. I have accompanied the A300-B4 on many occasions as flt. mech. and I am sure it's Kruger flaps were extended (slats) or leading edge flaps and perhaps the trailing edge is also extended. like the 737 a flap lever position on 1 will bring the leading edge flaps to full extend and the trailing edge flaps at partial extend only. anyway since it's been 16 years ago I might be mistaken.
