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.
Each wing extremity is equipped with a winglet.
Ailerons, Spoilers and Roll 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 attached on the trailing edge of left-side aileron is electrically activated by
a trim switch, through an actuator.
Wing Flaps
See
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°).
A monitoring device interrupts flaps movement as soon as a deflection
dissymmetry is detected.
