Abstract

This invention relates to an aircraft flap mechanism, entirely contained within each flap, such that each flap can be activated independently of any other. The mechanism includes electric, pneumatic or hydraulic motors which activate the movement of the flaps.The invention results in a compact, light, low cost, reliable and easy to maintain mechanism. Furthermore, due to the fact that the mechanism is entirely contained within the flap it maximizes internal wing space.
