COVE LIP DOOR SLAVED TO TRAILING EDGE CONTROL DEVICE Movement of an aerodynamic cove lip door (270) is directly slaved to real time movement of a trailing edge control device (124) operably secured to an aircraft wing (110). The cove lip door (270) is adapted to move relative to the movement of the control device (124) for managing aerodynamic air gaps. For this purpose, a cove lip door mechanism (300) is defined to include an actuator (200) and an aircraft input controller (190), wherein movement of the control device (124) is subject to the actuator via the input controller. A bell crank mechanism (150) is coupled to the control device (124) to link movement of the actuator (200) directly to movement of the control device (124). The cove lip door is separately attached to the trailing edge (132), positioned proximal to the control device (124). The actuator is configured to also control movement of the cove lip door (270) as a function of movement of the control device (124) to optimize operational aerodynamic performance and efficiency. 6)l CC) II 7' /I 'I II / I/ /0I II / /i\ I / I00 coI i 00 C) i co I Ii - I00 C14- I II I / I\I II / /i\ II I- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -I
