Abstract
A flexible actuation assembly for an aircraft component may include a flexible linkage including at least one primary element. The at least one primary element may be coupled to at least one locking pin of the flexible actuation assembly via at least one interlocking assembly. The flexible linkage may be coupled to an actuator of an aircraft component. The flexible linkage may be configured to retract the at least one locking pin from a lock position when a load applied to the actuator is translated through the flexible linkage. The flexible linkage may be fabricated from a material with a spring force able to return the at least one locking pin to the lock position when the load is removed from the actuator.
