Landing Flaps Drive System

Drive unit

On both sides of the gear box a motor is attached in the middle. The two outputs for the flexible shafts are on the outer corner.

The spur gear wheels are examples for the use of standard parts (commercially off-the-shelf: COTS) which are adopted according to the requirements in weight and performance. The gears are heavily modified, but they fulfil the light weight and the load capacity.

The drive unit has hardened hexagonal shaft ends to drive the flexible shafts.
