Abstract

See full text

An actuation system configured to deploy a high-lift device on a leading edge of an aircraft wing. The system comprises: a link pivotally connected to the wing at a first pivot point and to the high-lift device at a second pivot point; a first actuation mechanism configured to rotate the high-lift device about the first pivot point; and a second actuation mechanism configured to rotate the high-lift device about the second pivot point. The second actuation mechanism is operable independently of the first actuation mechanism, and can be operated in order to generate a sealing force between the high-lift device and the leading edge of the aircraft wing.
