ABSTRACT:
A flexible aerofoil has a series of members extending chordwise from a structure such as a main spar. The members are rotatably connected at points adjacent the pressure skin and are secured to the pressure skin. Rods, movable in a spanwise direction, act on the members at positions adjacent the suction skin to rotate the members relative to one another and therefore to alter the aerofoil camber.
