  • System for coupling two flaps of an aircraft wing, and an aircraft wing equipped with such a system
    Patent number: 4715567
    Abstract: A system for coupling together two flaps of an aircraft wing, which flaps are adjacent and are situated at least substantially in the extension of each other. Each flap has its own pivoting and drive means. The system includes a mechanical coupling which connects the two flaps together and which is intended to ensure synchronized operation thereof. The system further includes a mechanical emergency connection able to take over the function of the mechanical coupling should this latter fail. The transfer of function between the mechanical coupling and the mechanical emergency connection causes the movement of at least one mechanical signaling member.
