ABSTRACT:
The control surface drive has three shafts. The shafts are rotatably coupled by four universal joints. Mechanisms are provided to guide the shafts as outboard wing sections are moved between folded and unfolded positions. Rotary coupling between the inboard and outboard control surface drives is maintained during folding motion of the outboard wing sections.
