Abstract
An aircraft control surface system for an aircraft structure, that can be a pop-up spoiler for an aircraft wing, includes a deployable control surface member and a deployment mechanism. The deployment mechanism moves the deployable control surface member between a retracted position and a deployed position. In the retracted position, the deployable control surface member is curled to facilitate stowage within the aircraft structure. In the deployed position, the deployable control surface member is uncurled and extends from a surface of the aircraft structure. The deployment mechanism enables the deployable control surface member to extend to have a straight portion with a length greater than the local depth of the aircraft structure.
