I’m so glad we finally fixed the forward flap design!
The old one was killing me. Too large and heavy and positioned at 180 degrees, requiring large static aero and not fully stowed, so that pushes the nose backwards during the high heating hypersonic phase of flight, which is the opposite of what you want.
