ABSTRACT:
The invention is a mechanism for the streamwise deployment of an aircraft trailing or leading edge flap. The mechanism connects the spar and flap. There are a pair of swivel links which pivotally connect the spar to the flap. There are also a pair of slaving mechanisms which rotationally connect the spar to the flap by spherical bearings. A linear flap actuator initiates the combined pivotal and rotational action from the spar which translates into a single downward and rearward motion of the flap.
