CABLE-CARRYING CHAIN FOR AN AIRCRAFT WING LEADING EDGE MOBILE FLAP SHUTTER

摘要

The invention relates to an aircraft wing comprising a fixed wing central body and a leading edge mobile flap shutter (16) intended to be rotated with respect to the fixed body in a circular path that lies within a sphere of centre (C). According to the invention, the wing further comprises a cable-carrying chain (30) comprising links (34) that are articulated to one another about axes of articulation (34) that converge to a single point, the chain being connected at its two ends to the fixed central body and to the mobile flap shutter. In addition, the said single point is the centre (C) of the sphere, located on an axis (42) about which the leading edge mobile flap shutter rotates with respect to the wing fixed body.
