    Hello!
    I have one question regarding the flight control logic of the Hornet, maybe you could help with that?
    I have noticed on the video linked below (time mark 0.15, 0.33) that the jet keeps the ailerons drooped even while the flaps are retracting.
    I was having a debate with some buddies as to why would that be (we are F-18 model aircraft pilots) and some argued it must have been a feature of the 'intelligent wing' FCS to maximize wing efficiency through all flight conditions. From my aerospace engineering background I found a hard time imagining such an aggressive aileron droop having anything to do with helping efficieny, but it is clearly a thing on the Hornet so there must be a reason for it. If you know about this and are allowed to tell or hint about what is going on with that aileron droop, I would be very interested in knowing, thanks for your attention!

    Best regards,
    Jandro.

      I think it's a similar style to flaperons, or how the SuperH cants the tail feathers inwards on cat shots. Also, I think they go inside with speedbrakes. The computer tells the control surfaces what they pilot is asking for.
