A flap skew detection system is configured to detect flap skew of one or more flaps moveably secured to one or more wings of an aircraft. The flap skew detection system includes a flap support assembly that couples a flap to a wing. The flap support assembly includes a fixed portion that is configured to secure to the wing, a moveable portion that is moveably coupled to the fixed portion and configured to securely support the flap, and a link moveably coupled to the fixed portion and the moveable portion. The link includes a cylinder defining an internal chamber including a hydraulic fluid chamber, a piston having a piston head within the internal chamber, and hydraulic fluid retained within the hydraulic fluid chamber. A pressure detector is fluidly coupled to the hydraulic fluid chamber. The pressure detector is configured to detect a fluid pressure of the hydraulic fluid pressure within the hydraulic fluid chamber. The fluid pressure detected by the pressure detector is used to determine existence of flap skew.
