Abstract:
1. A system for increasing controllability of an aircraft with an adjustable HTP (horizontal tail plane), which comprises: a movable leading edge high-lift device in the HTP; coupling means between the high-lift device and the HTP; and coupling means between the HTP and the aircraft, which comprises wherein the coupling means between the high-lift device and the HTP includes a deflection shaft mounted to deflect the movable leading edge high-lift device with respect to the HTP in response to each HTP tilting movement, wherein the coupling means between the HTP and the aircraft further comprise deflection transmission means to deflect the movable leading edge high-lift device, the deflection transmission means providing a high-lift device deflection movement about the deflection shaft for each HTP tilting movement about the tilting shaft, and wherein the deflection shaft is mounted to the HTP at a location forward of the tilting shaft in a leading edge direction of the HTP.
