Abstract: A sealing device for covering an aperture in a wing part of an aircraft. The sealing device has a cover plate covering at least a part of the aperture and having an outer surface delimited by a cover plate edge, and at least one holding device coupled with the cover plate. The at least one holding device having a resilient element, the at least one holding device resiliently holds the cover plate in a distance to an actuation element. The distance is variable in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the outer surface. The at least one holding device holds the cover plate in a substantially fixed spatial alignment in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The resilient element urges the cover plate towards the actuation element in a mounted state of the sealing device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an exemplary embodiment of a system for driving a slat of an aircraft. The system includes first and second hinge support elements of a wing structure, a first arm device, a second arm device, and a third arm device. Also disclosed is an aircraft having the system, an aircraft wing having the system, and a method for driving a slat of an aircraft. The system utilizes a particular configuration of connection junctions, which rotatably connect the arm devices and the hinge support elements.

Abstract: A trailing-edge flap system for a wing of an aircraft comprises a trailing-edge flap, a guide rail attached to the trailing-edge flap, a carriage slidably engaging the guide rail and rotatably attachable to a fixed position on the wing structure, and a drive means coupled the wing structure to a first joint on the guide rail. The drive means is configured to move the trailing-edge flap relative to the wing structure by moving the guide rail along the carriage by moving the first joint relative to the wing structure, such that the trailing-edge flap translates and rotates. The trailing-edge flap is at least movable into a cruise position, a high-lift position and an air brake position.
