  • Publication number: 20120138750
    Abstract: An aerofoil wing is provided, including a main aerofoil, and a high-lift flap, which is movably arranged on the wing using side-by-side adjustment mechanisms. Each adjustment mechanism includes a first adjustment lever, hinged to the main aerofoil via a first rotary linkage, forming a first rotation axis; a second adjustment lever, hinged to the high-lift flap via a second rotary linkage, forming a second rotation axis; and a central linkage, linking together the first and the second adjustment levers, forming a third rotation axis. The first, second and third rotation axes pass through a common pole. The wing has a drive device with a drive module mounted on the main aerofoil, and movable with respect to the drive module a drive lever, which is coupled to the high-lift flap. The wing has a stop device to limit the maximum extended setting of the high-lift flap.
