A rear-edge flap is held on an aircraft wing by means of two pantograph-like guide systems carrying swivel heads on which the flap is pivoted. Control arms extend from the guide systems to cause the flap to be pivoted and the guide systems extend the flap. Details concerning bearings and kinematics are disclosed. Application of the invention to all rear flaps of two aircraft wings is described.
