Orion, I know how much you don’t like flaperons because they are prone to stalling at high AoA.
So how about a flaperon that deploys half the angle of the flaps like that found on the Dehavlin Beaver, and here’s what’s new…as the flaperon deploys it drops down like a Junkers flap, providing all kinds of high energy flow over the top of the surface?
I see all of these carrier based jets that use flaperons. I’ll bet they are blown with engine compressor air to get the same effect. They also use their all flying stabilizers for roll control. Incidentally the F-18 uses its twin rudders as speed brakes and to agument the stabilizer in adding pitching moment. They deflect inwards when the flaps come down so it's sort of a trim feature.
