Abstract: A wing for an aircraft is disclosed including a main wing and a trailing edge high lift assembly having a flap, and a connection assembly movably connecting the flap to the main wing, such that the flap is movable between a retracted position and at least one extended position, wherein the connection assembly includes a support element that is mounted to the flap and that is movably mounted to the main wing, such that the support element is movable relative to the main wing along a predefined path between a stowed position and a deployed position. The support element is formed as an elongate support beam that extends along a beam longitudinal axis between a front end and a rear end and has an intermediate portion between the front and rear ends.

Abstract: A method of securing a lower trailing edge panel of an aircraft wing. The wing includes a wingbox with an upper cover, a lower cover, and a rear spar. A leading edge of the lower trailing edge panel is attached to the wingbox. A support structure is also attached to the wingbox and a connector is mounted to the trailing edge panel. A link is provided, with a first end and a second end. The second end of the link is pivotally attached to the support structure at a pivot joint. A biasing arrangement biases the link towards an upright orientation in which the first end of the link is higher than the pivot joint. The link is held in its upright orientation with the biasing arrangement; and then the first end of the link is attached to the connector.

Abstract: Distributed trailing edge actuation systems and methods for aircraft are described herein. An example aircraft includes a wing, a flap coupled to the wing, the flap movable between a stowed position and a deployed position, and a distributed trailing edge (DTE) actuation system including a flap actuator coupled to the wing to move the flap. The flap actuator includes an integrated hydraulic powered actuator and electric powered actuator. The flap actuator is operable in a hydraulic powered mode in which the hydraulic powered actuator is activated to move the flap, an electric powered mode in which the electric powered actuator is activated to move the flap, and a hybrid mode in which the hydraulic powered actuator and the electric powered actuator are activated simultaneously to move the flap.

Abstract: Wing assemblies (100) comprise an inboard flight control surface (102), an outboard flight control surface (104) positioned directly adjacent to and outboard of the inboard flight control surface (102), and a dual actuation assembly (106) coupled directly to and forming a linkage between the inboard flight control surface (102) and the outboard flight control surface (104). The dual actuation assembly (106) is configured to selectively transition the inboard flight control surface (102) and the outboard flight control surface (104), in tandem, amongst a retracted configuration (108) and a range of extended configurations (110).

Abstract: An aerodynamic device includes a main aerodynamic body having a leading edge and a trailing edge, a flight control surface coupled to the main aerodynamic body near the trailing edge of the main aerodynamic body, and a rotating body coupled to the flight control surface. The rotating body is rotatable relative to the flight control surface between a stowed position and a deployed position to define a gap. The rotating body is rotated toward the main aerodynamic body while in the stowed position to close the gap. The rotating body is rotated away from the main aerodynamic body while in the deployed position to widen the gap. The gap adjusts an airflow flowing between the main aerodynamic body and the flight control surface.

Abstract: A wing for an aircraft. The wing includes a main wing and a trailing edge high lift assembly movably arranged at a trailing edge of the main wing. The trailing edge high lift assembly includes a flap and a connection assembly movably mounting the flap to the main wing, such that the flap is movable between a retracted position and at least one extended position, wherein the connection assembly is configured such that the flap is movable relative to the main wing in a linear and/or rotational manner. The connection assembly is configured such that the flap is movable relative to the main wing in a decoupled linear and rotational manner.

Abstract: A low stall or minimum control speed aircraft comprising a fuselage that has vertically flat sides; wings with high a lift airfoil profile of constant chord section set at zero degree planform sweep, twin booms having inner vertically flat surfaces, twin vertical stabilizers, a flying horizontal stabilizer; preferably twin engines having propellers and wherein each engine preferably has a thrust-line that is inclined nose-up to a maximum of +8 degrees, and is parallel to the wing chord underneath wing mounts and landing gear doors that provide surfaces for channeling propeller wash in a rearward direction; all working in concert so that the airplane has an extremely low stall speed and minimum control speed. The engines may be diesel, hydrogen fuel cell, electric fuel cell, diesel-electric, gas turbine or combinations thereof. The propellers may be counter-rotating.
