ABSTRACT:
A temperature compensated passive linkage for interconnecting two members having different coefficients of expansion. Preferably the linkage is utilized for interconnecting the stabilizer of a plane with its elevator. The stabilizer may be a graphite epoxy composite while the elevator may consist of aluminum-fiberglass. The differences in the rate of expansion of the two members is compensated by the linkage of the invention which in turn will move a side load hinge fitting to minimize aerodynamic and mechanical problems.
