Abstract
In U.K. patent 2233613 Short Brothers plc describe a flap assembly. It includes a flap member located at the trailing edge of an aircraft wing. A bracket extends down from the flap member and a mounting arm extends rearwardly from the lower surface of the wing. Two link arms are pivotally mounted at their upper ends to the mounting arm and at their lower ends to the bracket. The flap member is moved between a stowed and downwardly extended position by an actuating mechanism which is mounted on the aircraft wing and connected either to the flap member or to the bracket. The actuating mechanism may be of either a linear or a rotary type.
