TRAILING EDGE DEVICE WITH BELL CRANK MECHANISM A bell crank mechanism (150) is configured to at least indirectly link any movement of an aircraft wing spoiler-like hinge panel (140) to the movement of an aircraft wing trailing edge flight control device (124). The aircraft wing (110) is configured to be fixed to and to extend from an aircraft fuselage, the wing (110) including a leading edge and a trailing edge (132). The flight control device (124) is attached to the trailing edge (132), and any movement of the control device (124) is directly subject to an aircraft input controller (190). The moveable aerodynamic hinge panel (140) is situated proximally to the control device (124), and the hinge panel (140) is separately attached to the trailing edge (132). As configured, the bell crank mechanism (150) assures that any hinge panel motion is slaved to the control device (124) in a manner intended to optimize aerodynamic performance and efficiency. 6)l CC) CCo II 7' /I 'I II / I/ /0I II / /i\ I / I00 LL. co co 00 C) i co I Ii - CD C14- I II I / I\I II / /i\ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
