Abstract: A flight control surface comprising a main body comprising an upper and lower cover, upper and lower skins and a core member, a prolongation of their length over the length of the core member defining a stepped area. A trailing edge of the control surface comprises a U-shaped profile enclosing the prolongation, the U-shaped profile extending towards the main body in the chordwise direction up to the stepped area and comprising a section that progressively decreases. The trailing edge comprises a first and a second set of rivets located in the prolongation, the first set of rivets joining the upper and lower covers and the second set of rivets joining the U-shaped profile, the upper covers and the lower covers.

Abstract: A leading edge for an airfoil of an aircraft includes a leading plate with a convex side and a concave side, and at least one container filled with a non-Newtonian fluid. The leading edge is configured to be secured to the torsion box of the airfoil. The at least one container is arranged between the concave side of the leading plate and the torsion box of the airfoil. An airfoil is also provided including such a leading edge. A method is provided for assembling such a leading edge.
