Claim 0:
1. A movable flow body device for an aircraft, comprising:
an elongated flow body having a main extension axis,
a first mechanical interface coupled with the flow body in a first position along the main extension axis, having a first support component,
a second mechanical interface coupled with the flow body in a second position along the main extension axis, having a second support component, and
a third mechanical interface coupled with the flow body in a third position along the main extension axis, having a third support component,
wherein the first support component, the second support component and the third support component are rigidly attached to the flow body,
wherein the first mechanical interface comprises a first swiveling device that is configured to swivably couple a first support lever with the first support component of the first mechanical interface to form a first hinge point on the first support component,
wherein the second mechanical interface comprises a second swiveling device that is configured to swivably couple a second support lever with the second support component of the second mechanical interface to form a second hinge point,
wherein the third mechanical interface comprises a third swiveling device that is configured to swivably couple a third support lever with the third support component of the third mechanical interface to form a third hinge point,
wherein the second swiveling device and the third swiveling device are coupled with the second support lever and third support lever, respectively, through a respective link plate,
wherein the link plates coupled with the second support lever and third support lever comprise orientations relative to the respective support components or the respective support levers that are inverted relative to each other to shift one of the second hinge point and the third hinge point transverse to the main extension axis relative to the respective support lever, and
wherein the first hinge point, the second hinge point and the third hinge point define a straight hinge line that extends along the first, second and third positions of the flow body.
