A COMBINATION COMPRISING AN AIRCRAFT WING TRAILING EDGE SECTION AND AN ADJUSTMENT BODY

摘要

A combination comprises an aircraft wing trailing edge section (2) and an adjustment body (8). The adjustment body (8) comprises a tapered cross section in a local chord axis direction of the wing trailing edge section (2), a lower adjustment body surface (16) connected to a top surface of the aircraft wing trailing edge section (2) and a back-end surface (12) having a height (h). The adjustment body (8) is positioned such that the back-end surface (12) is flush with the trailing edge (14) of the aircraft wing trailing edge section (2). Attaching the adjustment body (8) onto a top surface of the wing trailing edge section (2) leads to compensation of an offset rolling moment due to unavoidable structural shape deviations of the aircraft and eliminates additional structural reinforcement requirements on the trailing edge compared to edge wedges mounted on the bottom surface of trailing edges. The trailing edge section (2) may comprise a flap.
