  • Combination comprising an aircraft wing trailing edge section and an adjustment body
    Patent number: 9868509
    Abstract: A combination comprises an aircraft wing trailing edge section and an adjustment body. The adjustment body comprises a tapered cross section in a local chord axis direction of the wing trailing edge section, a lower adjustment body surface connected to a top surface of the aircraft wing trailing edge section and a back-end surface having a height. The adjustment body is positioned such that the back-end surface is flush with the trailing edge of the aircraft wing trailing edge section. Attaching the adjustment body onto a top surface of the wing trailing edge section leads to compensation of an offset rolling moment due to unavoidable structural shape deviations of the aircraft and eliminates additional structural reinforcement requirements on the trailing edge compared to edge wedges mounted on the bottom surface of trailing edges. The trailing edge section may comprise a flap.
