A flap system for an aircraft includes a flow body, a trailing flap and a movement means. The flow body includes an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface having a recess. The movement means is attachable to the flow body and the trailing flap. The trailing flap includes a shape that corresponds to the recess in the lower surface. The movement means is adapted for conducting at least a chordwise movement of the trailing flap such that it is movable out of and into the recess of the flow body in absence of a gap between the leading edge of the trailing flap and the flow body. Thereby, a clear increase in a lift coefficient may be achieved, while at the same time maintaining a low complexity and a high reliability of the flap system.

1. A flap system for an aircraft, the flap system comprising: a flow body;a trailing flap; anda movement means;wherein the flow body comprises an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface having a recess,wherein the movement means is attachable to the flow body and the trailing flap;wherein the trailing flap comprises a shape corresponding to the recess in the lower surface and having a retracted position and at least first and second extended positions;wherein the movement means is adapted for conducting at least a chordwise movement of the trailing flap such that the trailing flap is movable out of the recess of the flow body from the retracted position into the first extended position substantially without a gap between the leading edge of the trailing flap and the flow body,wherein the trailing flap is movable from the first extended position into the second extended position by conducting a rotary motion additional to the chordwise movement, andwherein the movement means comprises at least one roller track guide, wherein the roller track guide comprises at least one track and at least one roller, wherein the roller is guided in the at least one track. 2. The flap system of claim 1, wherein the movement means includes a mechanical linkage. 3. The flap system of claim 1, wherein the flow body is a slotted flap movably supported on the trailing edge of a wing. 4. The flap system of claim 1, further comprising a linear drive means coupled with the flow body and the trailing flap. 5. The flap system of claim 1, further comprising a rotational drive means coupled with the flow body and the trailing flap. 6. The flap system of claim 1, wherein the chordwise movement is coupled with the rotary motion such that the trailing flap increases its angle measured between the chord axes along the complete extension motion. 7. The flap system of claim 1, wherein the movement means is adapted for conducting the chordwise movement and the rotary motion independently from each other. 8. A method for adjusting a lift of an aircraft, the method comprising: moving a trailing flap out of a recess at a lower surface of a flow body in form of a flap by a movement means from a retracted position into a first extended position substantially without a gap between a leading edge of the trailing flap and the flow body and from a first extended position further into at least one second extended position by conducting a rotary motion,wherein the movement means comprises at least one roller track guide, wherein the roller track guide comprises at least one track and at least one roller, wherein the roller is guided in the at least one track. 9. An aircraft comprising: a wing; andat least one flap system attached to a flow body of the aircraft, the at least one flap system comprising:a flow body;a trailing flap; anda movement means;wherein the flow body comprises an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface having a recess,wherein the movement means is attachable to the flow body and the trailing flap;wherein the trailing flap comprises a shape corresponding to the recess in the lower surface and having a retracted position and at least first and second extended positions;wherein the movement means is adapted for conducting at least a chordwise movement of the trailing flap such that the trailing flap is movable out of the recess of the flow body from the retracted position into the first extended position substantially without a gap between the leading edge of the trailing flap and the flow body, andwherein the trailing flap is movable from the first extended position further into the second extended position by conducting a rotary motion additional to the chordwise movement, andwherein the movement means comprises at least one roller track guide, wherein the roller track guide comprises at least one track and at least one roller, wherein the roller is guided in the at least one track. 10. The aircraft of claim 9, wherein the flow body is a slotted flap on a trailing edge region of the wing. 11. The aircraft of claim 9, wherein the flow body is a trailing edge region of the wing. 12. A flap system for an aircraft, the flap system comprising: a flap;a trailing flap; anda movement means;wherein the flap comprises an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface having a recess,wherein the movement means is attachable to the flap and the trailing flap;wherein the trailing flap comprises a shape corresponding to the recess in the lower surface; andwherein the movement means is adapted for conducting at least a chordwise movement of the trailing flap such that the trailing flap is movable out of the recess of the flap from a retracted position into a first extended position substantially without a gap between the leading edge of the trailing flap and the flap and such that the trailing flap is movable from the first extended position further into at least one second extended position by conducting a rotary motion additional to the chordwise movement, andwherein the movement means comprises at least one roller track guide, wherein the roller track guide comprises at least one track and at least one roller, wherein the roller is guided in the at least one track.
