Claim 0:
1. An aircraft wing trailing edge section assembly comprising:
an upper skin structure providing an upper external aerodynamic trailing edge surface,
a lower skin structure providing a lower external aerodynamic trailing edge surface, and
a movement mechanism comprising:
a first portion attached to an internal surface of the upper skin structure,
a second portion attached to an internal surface of the lower skin structure, and
a rotationally mounted connector member connected between the first and second portions,

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,
whereby the rotational movement of the connector member causes 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.
