      Element actuators[0, 1]

Actuators driving the trailing edge device

      Element cruiseRollers[0, 1]

Cruise rollers/mid-span stops. Those features are small rolls at the leading edge of a flap that keep the flap within the bending wing at cruise configuration.

      Element description[0, 1]

Description

      Element interconnectionStruts[0, 1]

Interconnection struts. Those struts connect two neighbouring flaps and are load carrying in case of an actuator of flap track failour.

      Element name

Name

      Element outerShape

Outer shape

      Element parentUID

UID of the parent of the TED. The parent can either be the UID of the componentSegment of the wing, or the UID of another TED. In the second case this TED is placed within the other TED (double slotted flap). In this way n-slotted TEDs can be created.

      Element path

Deflection path

      Element structure[0, 1]

Structural layout

      Element tracks[0, 1]

Tracks guiding the trailing edge device

      Element wingCutOut[0, 1]

Cut out in the wing structure due to the trailing edge device

      Element zCouplings[0, 1]

Z-couplings. Those elements couple two neighbouring flaps in z-direction.

Remarks
A trailingEdgeDevice (TED) is defined via its outerShape relative to the componentSegment. The WingCutOut defines the area of the skin that is removed by the TED. Structure is similar to the wing structure. The mechanical links between the TED and the parent are defined in tracks. The deflection path is described in path. Additional actuators, that are not included into a track, can be defined in actuators. Leading and trailing edge are defined by the outer shape of the wing segments, i.e. the trailing edge of a trailingEdgeDevice is the trailing edge of the wing. This is also valid for kinks that are present in the wing but not explicitly modeled in the control surface.
