DEVICE FOR OPERATING FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACE

Title:

DEVICE FOR OPERATING FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACE

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JPS5963296

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

This invention relates to a jam tolerant rotary actuation system having multiple flight control surfaces. The actuation system includes in combination an actuation mechanism for each flight control surface. Each actuation mechanism is releaseably coupled to a main drive line shaft. The main drive line shaft is mechanically, serially coupled to each actuation mechanism to thereby establish an actuation assembly. A power drive unit is provided and is drivingly coupled to either end of the actuation assembly to thereby create an actuation system that will respond to the jamming of one of the flight control surfaces by the release of the actuation mechanism associated with the jammed surface from the main drive line shaft and the actuation of the remaining surfaces by the power drive unit.
