I’ve not flown one but I do know that the the Bucaneer had “blown” control surfaces. Air from the engine compressors was directed over them to allow better control to lower the landing speed (bearing in mind that the aircraft was designed to land on carriers). Having said that, I think the landing speed quoted is an exaggeration!
