DRIVE SYSTEM FOR A LIFT CONTROL DEVICE OF AN AIRCRAFT, AIRCRAFT WING AND AIRCRAFT

Abstract: a drive system for a lift control device of an aircraft. the drive system has first and second connection assemblies. the first connection assembly comprises a first track comprising a first end coupled to the lift control device and a track curvature having a radius of curvature; a first guiding element to absorb side loads from the first track; a first drive device to drive the first track, and a second guiding element to sense spanwise movement of the first track. the second connection assembly comprises a second track comprising a first end coupled to the lift control device; a third guiding element to absorb side loads from the second track, and a second drive device to drive the second track. the first and second drives are mechanically coupled by a transmission shaft. when the spanwise movement exceeds a threshold value, the drive system is stopped.
