Abstract:
1. An aircraft system, comprising: an airfoil; a leading edge device having a flow surface, a first link coupled between the airfoil and the flow surface to move the flow surface relative to the air foil, and a second link coupled to the first link, the first link having a pin, the second link having an elongated slot in which the pin is received to pivotally couple the first link to the second link and to permit the second link to translate relative to the first link, the second link being coupled to the flow surface to move the flow surface relative to the first link and relative to the airfoil; a first actuator coupled to the first link to move the first link relative to the airfoil; and a second actuator coupled between the first and second links to move at least one link relative to the other.
