    摘要: Described herein is a system that includes an actuator with a movable input, a first summing mechanism with an input, a first output, and a second output. The input of the first summing mechanism is movably driven by the movable input of the actuator and the first output of the first summing mechanism is movably coupled to a first actuatable element. The system also includes an end mechanism with an input and a first output. The input of the end mechanism is movably driven by the second output and the first output of the end mechanism is movably coupled to a second actuatable element. The system further includes a sensor that senses a position of the rotational input of the actuator. A status of the first and second actuatable elements is based on a sensed position of the movable input of the actuator.

    摘要: An actuation system for controlling flight control members of a vehicle. Each flight control member is controlled by two or more linear hydraulic actuators. Synchronization members extend between the hydraulic actuators on the same flight control members to synchronize the movements of the hydraulic actuators for consistent movement across the length of the flight control members. Brakes can maintain the positions of the synchronization members and thus the flight control members. Motors can provide for moving the synchronization members to control the positioning of the hydraulic actuators and flight control members.

    摘要: Assemblies for air vehicle control surfaces and related methods are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a control surface; a bullnose carried by the control surface, the bullnose moveable relative to the control surface; a first actuator operatively coupled to the control surface to cause the control surface to rotate; and a second actuator operatively coupled to the control surface, the second actuator to cause the bullnose to move from a first position to a second position to cause an opening to be formed relative to the control surface, the movement of the bullnose independent of rotation of the control surface.
