To provide methods and systems for providing differential control of flap surface movement utilizing a single drive link to provide improved efficiency over the prior systems during take-off and landing.

This invention is directed to systems and methods for moving trailing edge high lift devices on an aircraft wing, and more particularly to moving inboard, outboard and midspan flaps 312, 313 and 316 differentially in order to produce better lift/drag characteristics during takeoff and landing of the aircraft.
