Obviously you're ignorant of hydraulic motors and think that hydraulics
can only work via pistons. Pistons have serious disadvantages, as the
world saw with the DC-10 crash at O'Hare. Capiche?

Yes, great idea. McDonald Douglas used that idea in the DC-10.
Instead of a jackscrew to drive the flaps, they used a hydraulic
PISTON. Which of course is what we actually call it. In 1979 a
DC-10 full of passengers taking off from O'Hare had an engine fall
off, which in turn damaged the hydraulic lines in the wing. The
flaps retracted. Guess what happened next.

You are a goddamned idiot.
Flaps on large passenger planes, for your information, ARE actuated
by hydraulic cylinders.

That is whay airplanes have hydraulic systems in them.
