Abstract

For sealing at the transition between high-lift devices and fairings, a shutter assembly can be installed in a high-lift system, thereby forming the shutter arrangement. The shutter assembly includes the shutter panel and possibly the driving member. The shutter assembly can be installed in the high-lift system, to form any embodiment of the shutter arrangement. The shutter arrangement covers the trunnion opening and is moveable in correspondence with the movement of the high-lift device in a continuous and strictly monotone manner.
