ABSTRACT:
In order to reduce the force to be applied to the control member of a control surface (10) articulated to a support structure (12) by hinges located in notches or slots (28) formed in the leading edge (16) of the control surface, a protection device is associated with the said hinge. This device has a cover plate (32) fixed to each outer face of the support structure (12), as well as a fairing member (42) fixed to the control surface (10), so as to surround the hinge. The cover plate (32) has grooves (40) which will break in the case of locking. The breaking of the grooves is applicable to any craft moving in a fluid and having control surfaces and more particularly to aircraft.
