ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatuses for rotatably supporting movable components, including canards. An apparatus in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes an airfoil configured positioned external to an aircraft fuselage. A connecting portion can depend from the airfoil portion and can have an attachment portion configured to attach to an aircraft internal to the aircraft fuselage. Rollers carried by one of the connecting portion and the fuselage can rotatably contact a track carried by the other of the connecting portion and the fuselage.
