ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided an aerodynamic control device for integrated use with an aircraft having an inboard lifting member. The inboard lifting member having a leading edge, a pair of opposing distal edges and a trailing edge. The control device is provided with a movable outboard member which extends substantially about the leading, distal and trailing edges of the inboard lifting member and is spaced apart therefrom. The outboard member is provided with a leading edge portion, a pair of opposing distal edge portions, and a trailing edge portion which are collectively movable in unison in relation to the inboard lifting member to form an uninterrupted airfoil surface extending about the inboard lifting member and the outboard member for achieving desired aerodynamic control of the aircraft.
