<p>A flap assembly includes a flap member (2) located at the trailing edge of an aircraft wing (4). A bracket (12) extends down from the flap member (2), and a mounting arm (8) extends rearwardly from the lower surface of the wing. Two link arms (14 and 16) are pivotally mounted at their upper ends (18 and 20) to the mounting arm (8), and at their lower ends (22 and 24) to the bracket (12). The flap member (2) is moved between its stowed and its downwardly extended positions by an actuating mechanism (26) which is mounted on the aircraft wing (4), and connected either to the flap member (2) or to the bracket (12). The actuating mechanism (26) may be of either a linear or a rotary type.</p> |
