The flanger's similar to chorus, but it's a more metallic-sounding effect. As said, sort of like a plane taking off - whirling and whooshing.
Flanger multiplies the notes and then plays copies of them slightly out of sync along with the original notes.
It is pretty evident in Van Halen's 'And the Cradle Will Rock'.

i think the whirling and swooshing is more like the sound of a phaser. But they are pretty close, so you aren't wrong either but i find the flanger really metallic, creates a kind of 'clanging' sound - like a phaser in a tin can? haha... just my personal opinion. it can be used to good effect, of course, all pun intended.

for a sample of the flanger from the industry benchmark in effects pedals:
