Abstract

Systems and methods for controlling aircraft flaps and spoilers are disclosed. Systems (200) in accordance with some embodiments -include- a wing (210) having a trailing edge (211) , and a flap (220) positioned at least partially aft of the wing trailing edge (211) and being deployable relative to the wing (210) between a first flap position and a second flap position by operation of a first actuator. A spoiler (230) can be positioned at least proximate to the trailing edge (211) and can be movable among at least three positions, including a first spoiler position in which the spoiler forms a generally continuous contour with an upper surface of the wing (210) , a second spoiler position deflected downwardly from the first, and a third spoiler position deflected upwardly from the first. A second actuator (231) can be operatively coupled to the spoiler to move the spoiler among the first, second and third spoiler positions in a manner that is mechanically independent of the motion of the flap. independent of the motion of the flap.
