Dear treadi, the Cunningham-Hall GA-21/36 was the first aeroplane to feature double motion wing flaps devised to lower landing speeds and not flying speeds.

"It is the first plane to feature double motion wing flaps devised to lower landing speeds and not flying speeds. The GA-36 featured two cockpits and fixed landing gear. Cunningham-Hall tried to sell this design to the Army and Navy. Both declined, saying the aircraft was too expensive to produce."

Dook, is it perchance under the menu (3 horizontal bars) on the left of the dark blue PPRuNe title bar? That's where messages are on my smart phone.
Evans/Asturias - thanks, be interested to see how the system worked in flight - shame the aeroplane is in a museum but then again amazing it has survived!
