Abstract

See full text

According to one embodiment of the invention, a system for deflecting an aerodynamic control surface includes a first piezoelectric actuator coupled to a first flexure member. The first flexure member has a first end coupled to a first surface of the aerodynamic control surface and is operable to amplify a linear motion of the first piezoelectric actuator. The system further includes a second piezoelectric actuator coupled to a second flexure member. The second flexure member has a first end coupled to a second surface of the aerodynamic control surface and is operable to amplify a linear motion of the second piezoelectric actuator.
