Aircraft wing flap control system

摘要

The device for the control and adjustment of front and/or rear flaps on aircraft wings through drive units and drive shafts has a differential gear (6) through which are coupled the drive shafts of adjacent flaps (1,2). At least one drive shaft (4) is connected to a central actuator (9) and on the other side is coupled as a drive to the differential gear, while the other drive shaft (5) for the adjacent flap is similarly coupled and driven through the differential gear. Another drive train (7) of the differential gear is coupled to a secondary actuator (8) so that the movements of the drive trains for the flaps are superimposed upon one another through the central actuator and the secondary actuator.
