Wing fold system rotating latch

摘要

An apparatus and method of a wing fold system may include a latch assembly (802) rotating an unfixed portion (808) of a wing, with respect to a fixed portion (810) of the wing, between a flight position (figure 8a) of the wing and a folded position (figure 8b) of the wing. A first portion of the wing may hold a rotating portion (806) of the latch assembly. A second portion of the wing may hold a secured portion (814) of the latch assembly. The rotating portion of the latch assembly may rotate between an open position and a closed position. A slot in the rotating portion may receive the secured portion of the latch assembly. A securing portion (820) of the rotating portion (806) may secure a secured portion (814) of the latch assembly. The latch assembly may prevent rotation of the second portion when the wing may be in the flight position.
