Abstract
A method of operating actuators simultaneously for moving at least two aircraft movable aerodynamic surfaces, the method comprising the steps of: controlling the actuators to move the aerodynamic surfaces towards a predetermined position; during the movement, detecting a slowest actuator; and adapting the control of the actuators to match the actions of the slowest actuator. A drive device for aerodynamic surfaces and an aircraft including such a device.
