Abstract
An auxiliary flap assembly includes a base fixable to an aircraft wing, a track, a first pair of rollers, and a second pair of rollers. The base includes a first plate and a second plate. The track is coupled to the base and includes a first half defining a non-linear first roller path and a second half defining a non-linear second roller path in a back-to-back configuration. Both halves extend between a free end portion and a fixed end portion of the track. At least a portion of the first and second roller paths is interposed between the first plate and the second plate of the base. The fixed end portion is attachable to the flap. The track is movable along the first and the second pairs of rollers to move the flap between, and inclusive of, a stowed position and a deployed position.
