ABSTRACT:
An actuating system effects rotation of wing slat and flap panels of an aircraft and includes actuators having arms rigidly mounted to the panel and allowing some wing-to-panel rotation during wing/panel bending, and actuators having arms mounted to the panel to allow angular displacement of the arms relative to the rigidly mounted arms, whereby structural deflection of the frame of the aircraft is inhibited from imposing unanticipated destructive loads on either the actuating system components or the aircraft frame itself.
