A bell crank mechanism 150 is configured to at least indirectly link any movement of an aircraft wing spoiler-like hinge panel to the movement of an aircraft wing 110 trailing edge flight control device 124. The aircraft wing is configured to be fixed to and to extend from an aircraft fuselage, the wing including a leading edge and a trailing edge. The flight control device is attached to the trailing edge, and any movement of the control device is directly subject to an aircraft input controller. The moveable aerodynamic hinge panel is situated proximally to the control device, and the hinge panel is separately attached to the trailing edge. As configured, the bell crank mechanism assures that any hinge panel motion is slaved to the control device in a manner intended to optimize aerodynamic performance and efficiency.
