Adjustable bearing devices reposition the carrier part on the main wing to vary flap camber, resolving adaptability versus complexity trade-offs.
Periodic flanges in an adaptive wing structure adjust the contour to reduce drag, noise, and radar signature.
Actuator uses selective coupling to enable safe manual flight surface movement without motor power.
Centralized hydraulic systems and integrated power electronics eliminate cooling devices and minimize pipe lengths.
An integrated torque member joins wing flap skins to eliminate heavy dual tubes while maintaining structural integrity.
