I know that the primary purpose of flaps is to slow the aircraft for landing. Most aircraft speeds are higher at take off than at landing. Most aircraft use some flaps for take off..... it depends on conditions, the recommended flaps per the check list, and other factors (temp, wind, weight) .... this C-5 had just about none. Watch "Fat Albert" sometime... And, I know it differs from aircraft to aircraft, and pilot to pilot. Charles
