ABSTRACT:
A system for controlling a control surface articulated to a structure of a vehicle about a first axis includes a tab articulated to the trailing edge of the control surface about a second axis parallel to the first axis, an elastic link provided between the control surface and the tab, a pilot input control mechanism to which the elastic link is connected and which acts on the tab, and an actuating member provided between the control surface and the link for keeping the tab/control surface assembly in any position whatever. The elastic link and the actuating member are arranged to be at least substantially parallel to the first axis of articulation of the control surface. The first axis is disposed near, and upstream from, the elastic link and the actuating member.
