APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR ACTUATING A DOUBLE-SLOTTED FLAP USING A SLAVE SCREW

Abstract:

Apparatus and methods for actuating a double-slotted flap movably coupled to an aircraft wing are disclosed. An exemplary method comprises actuating a first panel of the double-slotted flap relative to a structure of the aircraft wing, using motion of the first panel to induce rotation of a slave screw, and using the rotation of the slave screw to actuate the second panel relative to the first panel.
