On the trailing edge of the aircraft, a little bit outboard of the engines is a peace of flap that is constantly moving (starts up and before rotation comes down)
is that a combination between a flap and a flight spoiler?
Has anyone more information about this?
do other aircraft also have it? It's the first time i've seen it

It was ok, not that spectacular.
It was just an airliner drawing 8's in the sky.

The most spectacular display was the Korean T50.

This year's flying display was truly limited and poor.
Those who didn't go didn't miss anything...
My personal highlight was to see what an a320 looks like with a pair of winglets and to talk to a bunch of salesmen to see how little they knew the products they were selling. One guy told me that his rj burns twice as little fuel as existing rj's... whatever that means...
Another guy could tell me where the shafts would connect to his helicopter gearbox, which is obvious when you look at the thing, but he didn't know the tbo of the thing...

This are the ' all speed ailerons ' or ' inboard ailerons '. Other big airplanes are using this ailerons,such B777 and bigger Airbus. This little ailerons are moving constantly in auto-pilot and the purpose is to stabilise the plane by turbulence etc.and also decrease the pressure off the big ailerons.
