The forward extremity is a highest point of the groove. A flap carriage is mounted to the groove and displaceable therealong. A flap is pivotably attached to the flap carriage to define a flap pivot axis about which the flap is rotatable. The flap is displaceable with the flap carriage. An actuator has an arm being extendable between an extended position and a retracted position to displace the flap carriage along the groove. The flap carriage in the retracted position being disposed in the forward segment of the groove and the flap being rotated about the flap pivot axis to position the flap trailing edge in negative flap deployment.
