ABSTRACT:
Coupling between a control surface and a flexible wing, or other lifting member, is provided by a novel piston-cylinder hinge mechanism which allows the control surface to move, out-of-plane, while following deflections of its associated lifting surface, reducing required actuator energy and enabling more effective use of control forces.
