A trailing-edge flap system for a wing of an aircraft comprises a trailing-edge flap, a guide rail attached to the trailing-edge flap, a carriage slidably engaging the guide rail and rotatably attachable to a fixed position on the wing structure, and a drive means coupled the wing structure to a first joint on the guide rail. The drive means is configured to move the trailing-edge flap relative to the wing structure by moving the guide rail along the carriage by moving the first joint relative to the wing structure, such that the trailing-edge flap translates and rotates. The trailing-edge flap is at least movable into a cruise position, a high-lift position and an air brake position.

An air-sucking vehicle tail section component or wing section component includes an outer delimitation part having microperforation including boreholes, and inner delimitation part having a plurality of suction boreholes including fluid connections to the microperforation boreholes, and connecting elements. The inner delimitation part is connected via the connecting elements to the outer delimitation part. The outer delimitation part includes a continuously curved shape. The inner delimitation part includes two or more planar inner delimitation part components, which are each connected to one another at one edge to form a connection edge, and the connection edge is configured to be attached to the outer delimitation part. A type of framework structure is thus provided, which causes increased stability and can split impacting objects in particular if two inner delimitation part components are used on the vehicle tail section component or wing section component.

The present invention provides a structural element, in particular for an aircraft or spacecraft, comprising a core, the material density of which varies, at least in portions, in order to optimize the natural vibration behavior of the structural element. The present invention further provides a method for producing a structural element, in particular for an aircraft or spacecraft, comprising the following steps: providing a structural element which has a core; determining the natural vibration behavior of the structural element; and varying the material density of the core of the structural element, at least in portions, in such a way that the natural vibration behavior of the structural element is optimized. The present invention provides still further an aircraft or spacecraft and a rotor blade, in particular for a wind turbine, comprising such a structural element.
