Airfoil for aircraft, has flap attached to supports and rotates with respect to axis during rotation of supports relative to wingbox, computer evaluating output signals from sensors and controlling drives on basis of evaluation

摘要

The airfoil has supports (5) mounted relative to a wingbox (3) such that the supports rotate with respect to a flap rotation axis. A flap is attached to the supports and rotates with respect to the axis during rotation of the supports relative to the wingbox. A movement mechanism is coupled to the supports for setting an angle position of the flap with respect to the wingbox. A computer is connected to rotation sensors (19). The computer evaluates the output signals from the sensors, and controls drives on the basis of the evaluation, such that the supports are moved synchronously.
