WINGS
The wings are monocoque, bi--spar structures. Main spars of each wing are
linked to the fuselage by two integral attach fittings. Each wing contains a
main landing gear well and sealed casings forming the fuel tank. The wing
leading edge is equipped with a deicing system.
AILERONS, SPOILERS AND PITCH TRIM TAB
The ailerons located on external trailing edge of each wing are hinged on two
attach fittings fixed on the rear spar. They allow airplane lateral control and
are controlled mechanically through control wheel rotation.
The spoilers located in front of flaps, on top skin side, are mechanically linked
to the ailerons.
Trim tab knob attached on the trailing edge of L.H. aileron is electrically
activated by a trim knob, through an actuator.
WING FLAPS
(Figure 7.2.2)
The wing flaps are large span slotted flaps with a single rotation point. They
are activated by actuating rod--controlled screw jacks linked to an electric
motor located under the floor, inside the fuselage.
A preselection control located on the right side of pedestal console allows the
pilot to select one of the three positions (UP -- TO -- LDG). For each control
position, a deflection angle is defined (0
°
, 10
°
, 34
°
).
The flap control knob is protected by a casing to avoid accidental operation.
A monitoring device interrupts flaps movement as soon as a deflection
dissymmetry is detected.
