A trailing edge system for a wing of an aircraft comprises a flap device arrangement configured for being mounted at a trailing edge of an aircraft wing, wherein at least two movable flap devices of the flap device arrangement are spaced apart from each other. A torque element is connecting the movable flap devices for transmitting a torque to the movable flap devices in order to actuate a rotational movement of the movable flap devices. An actuator for rotationally driving the torque element is provided. Also a method of operating control surfaces of an aircraft wing and an aircraft and aircraft wing with such a system.

Trailing edge system for a wing of an aircraft, method of operating control surfaces of an aircraft, aircraft wing and aircraft

An aircraft wing, including a main wing and a trailing edge high lift assembly movably arranged at a main wing trailing edge, the high lift assembly including a flap and a connection assembly movably mounting the flap to the main wing, such that the flap is movable between retracted and extended positions. In the extended position, a gap is present between a main wing lower rear panel and a flap leading-edge section. In the retracted position, the gap is closed or minimized. The flap is movable between an extended position, a first retracted position, and a second retracted position where the flap is moved beyond the first retracted position in a forward direction, and the wing comprises a gap closing device configured to close or minimize the gap in both the first and second retracted positions of the flap, and to open the gap in the flap extended position.

Wing for an aircraft
