Patent number: 6796535Abstract: In a flap operating system, left and right actuators for operating left and right flaps are synchronized with each other by left and right pulleys and first and second synchronizing cables wound in an X-shape around the left and right pulleys. If one of the hydraulic actuators fall into a free failure or fails due to sticking, a difference is generated between the rotational angles of the left and right pulleys. When the difference exceeds a threshold value, the operations of the left and right actuators are stopped, whereby an excessive load is previously prevented from being applied to a main wing structure or the flap operating system.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2003Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Minoru Uchida, Hiroshi Yamanouchi, Katsutoshi Tada
