Wing flap deflection control removal

A method of generating a high-lift device surface comprising:

• determining a shape of a fixed portion of a wing and as-built shape of a high-lift device surface wherein the high-lift device surface is mechanically coupled to the wing such that it can move relative to the wing and wherein a seal is interposed between the fixed portion of the wing and the high-lift device surface that prevents air flow between the seal and the high-lift device surface at a flight condition;
• determining a first structure and first materials of the wing and a second structure and second materials of the high-lift device surface;
• and
• specifying the flight condition;
• and
• wherein the as-built shape of the high-lift device surface is shaped based, at least in part, on an anticipated deformation during the flight condition such that it is configured to aeroelasticly deform from a first shape while not in flight to a second shape in flight wherein, in the first shape, gaps exist between the high-lift device surface and the seal and wherein in the second shape the gaps between the high-lift device surface and the seal are removed such that there is full contact between the seal and the high lift device surface that is caused by an aeroelastic deformation resulting from aerodynamic forces.
