An aircraft comprises a foldable airfoil. The airfoil includes inboard and outboard sections that are hinged together about a hinge line. The airfoil further includes a first latching mechanism on an inboard side of the hinge line, and a second latching mechanism on an outboard side of the hinge line for latching the outboard section to the inboard section. The latching mechanisms include first and second latching pin actuators on opposite sides of the hinge line.

    Un aéronef comprend un profil aérodynamique pliable. Le profil aérodynamique comprend des sections intérieures et extérieures qui sont reliées ensemble autour dun axe darticulation. Le profil aérodynamique comprend en outre un premier mécanisme de verrouillage sur un côté intérieur de laxe darticulation, et un second mécanisme de verrouillage sur un côté extérieur de laxe darticulation pour verrouiller la section extérieure à la section intérieure. Les mécanismes de verrouillage comprennent un premier et un second actionneur de broche darrêt sur des côtés opposés de laxe darticulation.
