SLAT SKEW DETECTION SYSTEM An apparatus comprises a sensor system, a flexible line, and a sensor. The sensor system is capable of detecting skew (304) in at least some of a plurality of control surfaces (306) for a vehicle (200). The flexible line (330, 334) extends across a number of interfaces (336) for a portion of the plurality of control surfaces (306). The sensor (328, 332) is connected to the flexible line (330, 334) and is capable of detecting the skew (304) in the portion of the plurality of control surfaces (306) in response to a selected amount of movement of the flexible line (330, 334). 2638974-1 VEHICLE 302 LEADING EDGE 312 PLURALITY OF CONTROL SURFACES 306 PLURALITY OF SLATS 316 318) DEPLOYED POSITION UNDEPLOYED POSITION 320 308- NUMBER OF CONTROL SURFACES 310 SKEW 304 SKR ST INBOARD OUTBOARD OUTBOARD SLAT 352 SLAT SLAT 353 355 351 PORTION PORTION PORTION 360. 357 , LVE 3 36_1 SKEW DETECTION SYSTEM SECOND SENSOR SYSTEM 300 334 326 FIRST SENSOR SYSTEM 330 324 348 FLEXIBLE FBLEXILE PHYSICAL SENSOR 332 F L E X I B L E L I N E_ C O M M U N IC A T IO N S B R E A K A W SENSOR 328 LINK CONNECTOR 340 344 SENSOR 356 FLEXIBLE LINE 358 PHYSICAL - COMMUNICATIONS 323 ACTUATOR SYSTEM - DT RCSIGSSE
