覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
flown は fly「飛ぶ・空路で運ぶ」の不規則な過去分詞で、変化は fly–flew–flown です。単純過去には flew を使い、flown は has flown、had flown の完了形や was flown「空輸された」の受け身で使います。own を含む綴りと /floʊn/ という発音を、空を移動し終えた状態に結びつけます。
Flown is the irregular past participle of fly: fly–flew–flown. Do not use it alone as the simple past; say the plane flew yesterday, but the plane has flown over the city. With have or had, flown describes completed aerial movement or air travel. In a passive construction such as supplies were flown to the island, it means they were transported by aircraft. Remember its /oʊ/ sound and -own spelling by grouping it with shown and grown, while keeping the special three-part verb pattern firmly in mind.
例文

その飛行機は街の上空を飛びました。
She had flown to London before.
彼女は以前ロンドンへ飛行機で行ったことがありました。
The supplies were flown to the island.

flown の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 flēogan（飛ぶ）の過去分詞形。ゲルマン祖語 *fleuganą に遡り、印欧語根 *plew-（流れる、飛ぶ）に由来する。関連語: fly（飛ぶ）、flow（流れる）。空中を流れるように移動するイメージが「飛ぶ」の原義。
Flown is the inherited past participle of fly, from Old English fleogan, “to fly.” The verb belongs to an ancient Germanic word family and is commonly traced further to an Indo-European root associated with flying, floating, or flowing. Its irregular form preserves an old pattern rather than using the modern -ed ending. The related forms are fly for the base and flew for the simple past.
