Abstract: An edge flap arrangement for an aircraft wing includes a main flap element and an actuator for moving the main flap element relative to the aircraft wing. A linkage arrangement supports the main flap element and includes a drop hinge link arrangement having a fixed strut secured to the aircraft wing and a drop link secured to the main flap element. The fixed strut and the drop link are connected by a hinge point having an hourglass bearing assembly having hourglass shaped rollers with a circular cross section symmetrical about a longitudinal axis, first and second axial ends, and an exterior surface. The exterior surface defines a concave engagement surface having a first radius of curvature R1 and a second radius of curvature which is greater than the first radius of curvature R1. The first radius of curvature is between 50 and 95 percent of the second radius of curvature.

Abstract: A system for isolating electrical current in an aircraft structure includes a first structure a bearing having an outer race and an inner race and a liner disposed therebetween, the outer race having a second structure coupled thereto. A dielectric seal is secured to the outer race and engages the inner race. A conditionally non-conductive gas occupies a sealed chamber that defines a gap between the inner race and the outer race. The gap has a predetermined magnitude sufficient to prevent electrical arcing or current leakage between the inner race and the outer race at a first voltage less than that voltage resulting from a lightning strike; and/or to conduct an electrical current between the inner race and the outer race at a second voltage greater than or equal to the voltage resulting from the lightning strike.

Abstract: A link apparatus includes a tubular member that retains 90% of ultimate tensile strength at a temperature of up to 329.44° Celsius (625° Fahrenheit). Two conical adapters are joined to ends of the tubular member. One threaded shank of a rod end is threaded into a right hand threaded base of one conical adapter, and a threaded shank of another rod end is threaded into a left hand threaded base of the other conical adapter. Each rod end has a bearing assembly disposed therein including an outer race, a ball disposed therein, and a low-friction liner disposed between the outer race and ball for mitigating moment loading on the tubular member. The cross-sectional area of the tubular member is at least as great as the cross sectional area of the rod ends. The tubular member is tensionable by rotation relative to the rod ends.
