ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatuses for installing and actuating movable components, including canards, over multiple ranges. An apparatus in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes a canard coupled to multiple actuators, one of which moves the canard over a first range of motion and the other of which moves the canard over a second, extended range of motion. A lockout device can prevent actuation over the second range of motion except when selected conditions are met.
