A leading edge (slat) and/or a trailing edge (flap) lift enhancing surface for an aircraft or a marine craft wing is connected to the wing by a linkage system. This system has at least two parallel spaced apart swing arms (12) with one end of each swing arm being pivoted (15) to the wing and the other end (13) pivoted to the slat or flap. (As depicted the swing arms each consist of one part; however in an alternative arrangement the swing arms are each in two parts hinged in the middle of the arm). A control rod (14) extends between the slat or flap and a base pivot point located on the swing arm (as depicted) or the wing and during deployment rotates the slat or flap about a span line which is substantially parallel to and below the wing. |
