Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for an aerodynamic surface actuation system, including: a middle track connected to an aerodynamic surface and configured to move along a plurality of intermediate tracks, wherein one or more inner surfaces of the middle track are configured to interface with one or more outer surfaces of the plurality of intermediate tracks; a plurality of outer tracks, each including a flange and configured to interface with one or more inner surfaces of the plurality of intermediate tracks; and an actuator configured to control a position of the middle track and a position of the plurality of intermediate tracks via a plurality of linkages.
