Underwing-mounted trailing edge bifold flaps for wings of aircraft are disclosed. A bifold flap pivotally coupled to the wing is movable between a stowed position located along a lower surface of the wing and a deployed position located rearward of a trailing edge of the wing. The bifold flap includes a forward panel and an aft panel. The aft panel is pivotally coupled to the forward panel and foldable relative thereto. The aft panel is folded toward the forward panel when the bifold flap is in the stowed position. The aft panel is unfolded from the forward panel when the bifold flap is in the deployed position. A bullnose pivotally coupled to the forward panel pivots relative to the bifold flap as the bifold flap moves between the stowed and deployed positions.
