Abstract
A locking mechanism, which permits fixation to a piston rod of a linear actuator relatively to a cylinder of the actuator, as well as a linear actuator equipped with such a locking mechanism as well as to an aircraft with at least one linear activator that is equipped with the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a plurality of first positive locking elements which are arranged lengthwise with the outside circumference of the cylinder and in certain distances to one another and at least one second positive locking element, which is moved together with the piston rod upon activation of the linear actuator and thus passes a segment of the cylinder. The at least one second positive locking element is positively engageable with one of the plurality of first locking elements at discrete positions of the cylinder lengthwise, by which the piston rod is fixed relatively to the cylinder.
