Abstract
A drive arrangement for an aircraft control surface has an inner shaft extending through a hollow outer shaft. The inner and outer shafts are drivingly connected at their adjacent ends. A drive input is coupled to the outer shaft intermediate the ends thereof, and an actuator for a control surface is drivingly connected to the outer shaft between the drive input and one of the ends. The arrangement permits the actuator to be driven even if the outer shaft fractures between the actuator and the drive input.
