Claim 14:
15. A method of operating an aircraft, comprising the following steps:
providing an upper skin trailing edge structure with an upper external aerodynamic trailing edge surface, and an internal surface, having a first wedge portion attached to the internal surface,
providing a lower skin trailing edge structure providing a lower external aerodynamic trailing edge surface, and an internal surface, having a second wedge portion attached to the internal surface, and
providing a cap having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is attached to an end of the upper skin structure and the second side is in sliding contact with an end of the lower skin structure,
actuating movement of a connector member connected to the first and second portions, thereby causing simultaneous movement of both first and second portions and therefore the lower skin structure relative to the upper skin structure within the cap, such that the camber of the trailing edge section is changed.
