Boeing 747 Flaps

Boeing 747 Flaps

Boeing 747 Flaps

(OP)
What type of lift coefficient could be obtained with a 40% mulit-fowler trailing edge flap combined with a leading edge slat or flap?  Could I surpass 4.0?  

What if I increased the trailing edge flaps to 50%?  If I'm not worried about drag, or resultant pitching or hinging moments, are there other consequences in having such a large flap percentage?  Does anyone have any experience with such flaps???

Does anyone know what Lift Coefficient the Boeing 747 wing has?  

Any ideas on where I can find profiles - geometries - of the 747 wing-flap system, or other similar multi-element high lift wings?
