You should stop thinking of a flanger as it is presented by typical 
guitar stomp boxes, with permanent modulation.
Basically a short delayline with feedback can be seen a specialized 
filter. And you never would think of a filter that it has to be 
modulated all the time.
Also a Delay always produces a kind of room information (early 
reflection. But since it is voltage controllable you are enabled to 
change the roomsize depending on musical information. This may be each 
note, this may be a part of the arrangement. A very good exampe for this 
was the new york based singer and producer Lisa Dalbello who made some 
songs in the late eighties where the impression of the refrain became 
kind of claustrophobic, because all "rooms" suddenly shrinked down to 
something of the size of a packing case. After the refrain the room 
impression widened again - very impressive!
