ABSTRACT:
Actuation and support mechanisms for wing trailing edge flap systems wherein each flap system has a streamwise or chordwise pair of geometrically similar flap support assemblies. Each of the flap support assemblies has a chordwise aligned cantilever support beam fixedly attached to wing structure. The beam incorporates multiple cam tracks for providing guidance and support to a movable dual carriage assembly upon which a wing trailing edge flap assembly is mounted. The dual carriage assembly comprises a fore-carriage which is articulatably connected to an aft-carriage. The wing trailing edge flap assembly is mounted upon the aft-carriage. Both the fore-carriage and the aft-carriage are individually supported by rollers constantly engaging a separate cam track for each of said carriages. For actuation of the dual carriage assembly and the wing trailing edge assembly mounted thereon, a ball screw drive mechanism is incorporated between the cantilever beam and the dual carriage assembly.
