A bit more details.
The system will be moving the trailing edge through a 3 deg arc,
with the edge deflecting up and down by as much as 1,5 deg either side
of a neutral setting position. It will move in 0,5º increments.
In addition, the spoilers will droop up/down to adjust the airflow around the
slot between the flap and spoiler.

It will save drag equivalent to about 450 kg weight.
