Abstract
An aircraft wing with an array of moveably flight control surfaces is disclosed. Each flight control surface includes a trailing edge with a moveable tab attached to the flight control surface trailing edge. A flight control system coupled to a flight control surface drive system which moves the flight control surfaces; a tab drive system which moves the moveable tabs and one or more aircraft angle of attack sensors. The flight control system stores a set of angular deflections to deflect the tabs upwardly when the angle of attack reaches a threshold.
