摘要： A wing and flap system for an aircraft comprising: a wing (16); and a deployable flap (30) connected to the wing, the flap being moveable between a first position in which a trailing edge portion of the wing substantially overlaps the flap and the angle of incidence of the flap is substantially the same as the angle of incidence of the wing, and a second position in which the trailing edge (33) of the flap is behind the trailing edge (34) of the wing and the angle of incidence of the flap is greater than that of the wing, and an intermediate position between the first and second positions, in which the trailing edge of the flap is behind the trailing edge of the wing and the angle of incidence of the flap is substantially the same as that of the wing; and further comprising a flap operating mechanism for moving the flap between the first, second, and intermediate positions, comprising: a driven toothed pinion (52) mounted in the wing; and first (36) and second (38) struts, each substantially aligned with a plane including a chord of the wing and extending between the pinion and the flap, each strut having a toothed rack (40, 42) engaged with the toothed pinion such that operation of the pinion moves each strut in a direction substantially aligned with a plane including a chord of the wing, the first strut being connected to the flap relatively closer to the leading edge thereof, and the second strut being connected to the flap relatively closer to the trailing edge thereof. The system can be used in a flying car having foldable wings.
