    摘要: Distributed trailing edge wing flap systems are described. An example wing flap system for an aircraft includes a flap and first and second actuators. The flap is movable between a deployed position and a retracted position relative to a fixed trailing edge of a wing of the aircraft. The first and second actuators are configured to move the flap relative to the fixed trailing edge. The first actuator is actuatable via pressurized hydraulic fluid to be supplied from a hydraulic system of the aircraft to the first actuator via a hydraulic module operatively coupled to the first actuator. The first actuator is operatively coupled to a first shaft. The second actuator is actuatable via an electric motor of the second actuator. The electric motor is operatively coupled to an electrical system of the aircraft. The second actuator is operatively coupled to a second shaft. The first and second shafts are selectively operatively couplable via a clutch operatively positioned between the first and second shafts. The clutch is actuatable between a disengaged position in which the second shaft is operatively uncoupled from the first shaft and an engaged position in which the second shaft is operatively coupled to the first shaft.

    摘要: An actuator comprising: an inner cylinder received in an outer cylinder and a piston received in the inner cylinder that extends from the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, the piston being slideable relative to the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder in response to the application of fluid pressure to cause the piston to extend further from the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder; and an auxiliary drive mechanism operable to cause the inner cylinder to extend from the outer cylinder, wherein the piston moves together with the inner cylinder relative to the outer cylinder.

    摘要: The invention relates to an actuator (4) for controlling a horizontal stabilizer (3) of an aircraft, including: a primary channel including a screw (6) and a primary nut (7), the primary nut (7) being suitable for engaging with the screw (6), such that a rotation of the screw (6) relative to the primary nut (7) about a rotation axis (X) causes the primary nut (7) to translate relative to the screw (6) along the axis (X), such as to move the horizontal stabilizer (3); a secondary channel including a secondary part (25, 28), and a housing (23, 26), the secondary part (25, 28) being mounted in the housing (23, 26) with play between the secondary part and the housing, in which the secondary channel also includes a play take-up device (27), configured to, in the event of a breakdown of the primary channel causing the secondary part (25, 28) to move relative to the housing, eliminate the play between the secondary part (25, 28) and the housing (23, 26) such as to keep the secondary part (25, 28) in contact with the housing (23, 26).
