Post Delta Wings and Flap

Hi all

Can anyone explain why Delta wing A/c dont have flaps- I think I know the answer but not sure.

Something to do with no corrrection for wing pitching moments usually sorted by the horizontal stabilator. Also they probably dont need them due to the high ampunts of profile drag at low speeds.

Any takers?
