Abstract:
In an aircraft having two separate landing flaps on a wing and which are together actuated in a landing mode or function, the outer flap is also separately actuated in an aileron mode or function apart from the inner flap.

Claim (Index 4):
A method of operating an aircraft having two wings ( 10 ) and pairs of inner and outer flaps ( 30 ,  40 ) arranged on each wing ( 10 ) of the aircraft, comprising\n adjusting both said flaps ( 30 ,  40 ) in both pairs in landing mode from a first drive unit ( 100 ) coupled to both said flaps ( 30 ,  40 ) in both pairs through transmission drives by the first drive unit ( 100 ) and driving actuators ( 20 ) positioned at said respective flaps ( 30 ,  40 ), positioning active differential gear boxes ( 200 ) along said transmissions between inner and outer flaps ( 30 ,  40 ) of each pair to divide the transmission between the flaps ( 30 ,  40 ), with inner transmission sections activating the inner flaps ( 30 ) of each pair and outer transmission sections activating the outer flaps ( 40 ) of each pair, activating the outer flaps ( 40 ) of each pair in aileron mode during cruising mode while the inner flaps ( 30 ) of each pair remain stationary, by second drive units acting only on the outer transmission sections through the differential gear boxes ( 200 ) and being arranged in the respective aircraft wings ( 10 ) or fuselage of the aircraft, and omitting a separate aileron flap from each wing ( 10 ), so that turning the aircraft during cruising is only effected by activating the outer flaps ( 40 ) of each wing ( 10 ).
