A flap actuator system for an airfoil structure including: a flap member for controlling the airfoil structure; a bearing member interconnected with the flap member and the airfoil structure; and an actuator device for rotating the flap member about the bearing member relative to the airfoil structure; the actuator device including an electromagnetic motor segment and a drive mechanism driven by the electromagnetic motor to rotate the flap member about the axis of the bearing member relative to the airfoil structure; the electromagnetic motor being integral with the airfoil structure and the drive mechanism; the electromagnetic motor including a field circuit integral with the drive mechanism and an armature circuit integral with the airfoil structure; the field circuit located within the armature circuit.

Flap actuator system

A flap actuator system for an airfoil structure including a flap member for controlling the airfoil structure; a bearing member interconnected with the flap member and airfoil structure; and an electromagnetic motor segment integral with the flap member and airfoil structure for rotating the flap member about the axis of the bearing member relative to the airfoil structure and including a field circuit integral with one of the flap member and airfoil structure and an armature circuit integral with the other; the bearing member may be a tension member which is attached to the airfoil structure at a first point and to the flap member at a second point spaced from the first point.
