Abstract: A wing defines a chord which runs from a leading edge to a trailing edge. The wing has a main portion and a flap which is movable relative to the main portion to change the aerodynamics of the wing, for instance to maximize lift, or to reduce drag at the expense of some loss of lift. The wing has a guide mechanism which guides movement of the flap. The guide mechanism uses a pair of runners which run along respective tracks. The tracks are positioned at different locations along the direction of the chord, but overlap one another in the direction of the chord.
