Abstract
The retractable flap provides a methodology in reducing drag on multiple types of vehicles and objects. These flaps are utilized the same way as any other flap such as the elevator, rudder, or aileron when it comes to trajectory control or steering. The retractable flap deflects from the body of the vehicle or object and returns back to its original position which is uniform to the body. The retractability of the flap allows the vehicle or object to be more streamlined.
