Rotary actuated high lift gapped aileron

摘要

A rotary actuated high lift gapped aileron system and method are presented. A high lift gapped aileron couples to an airfoil at a hinge line and changes a camber of the airfoil. A rotary actuator coupled to the high lift gapped aileron produces a rotary motion of the high lift gapped aileron in response to an actuation command. A droop panel positioned over the hinge line enhances lift of the high lift gapped aileron. A cove lip door positioned under the hinge line provides an airflow over the high lift gapped aileron. A deployment linkage mechanism coupled to the high lift gapped aileron positions the droop panel and the cove lip door in response to the rotary motion.

1. A rotary actuated high lift gapped aileron system, comprising:
a high lift gapped aileron coupled to an airfoil at a hinge line; a rotary actuator coupled to the high lift gapped aileron at the hinge line, the rotary actuator operable to produce a rotary motion to rotate the high lift gapped aileron about the hinge line in response to an actuation command; a droop panel positioned over the hinge line; a cove lip door positioned under the hinge line; and a deployment linkage mechanism coupled to the high lift gapped aileron and operable to position the droop panel and the cove lip door in response to the rotary motion.
