Appeal No. 2000-0408
Application No. 08/917,480 Page 6
Since all the limitations of claims 1-20 are not disclosed
by Ashkenas for the reasons set forth above, the decision of the
examiner to reject claims 1-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is
reversed.
REMAND
We remand this application to the examiner to consider the
patentability of claims 1-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over the cited
prior art. In addition, the examiner should consider searching
for other prior art1 that would teach how the control surfaces
along a wing's trailing edge should be set for different flight
conditions (e.g., take-off, landing, cruising, pitching).
1 The examiner may wish to consider computer-based flight
management systems, aircraft operating manuals, and pilot
operating handbooks.
