    There certainly are a lot of theories on how the reflex flaps came to
be!  Here's another one....
    It is my impression that a characteristic of our laminar flow wing is a
large excursion of the center of lift with airspeed.  At higher speeds it
moves significantly aft and needs the reflex flap setting.  What say the
aeronautical engineers in our group?
