  • Aircraft wing, method for operating an aircraft wing, and use of a pivotable trailing edge on a main wing of an aircraft, for adjusting the shape and width of an air gap
    Patent number: 7520471
    Abstract: An aircraft wing comprises a main wing with a pivotable trailing edge and a lift-assisting flap on the rear of the wing. The lift-assisting flap is coupled to the main wing and is designed in such a way that in its retracted state, the lift-assisting flap abuts the main wing and in an extended state, the lift-assisting flap forms an air gap with the main wing. The pivotable trailing edge is pivotable in such a way that, by pivoting the pivotable trailing edge, the shape and the width of the air gap are adjustable.
