A Flap Rudder (aka a "Becker rudder") is a specific type of multi-section rudder used on boats and ships. The hinged aft section gives the rudder an extra control surface, enhancing its efficiency. According to Kongsberg "A flap rudder produces more side force than a classic rudder of equivalent size. Depending on shipowner requirements, a flap rudder may be used to reduce the overall area of a rudder whilst maintaining equal lift forces".
