The invention relates to a linkage mechanism (12) for linking a flaperon (40) to a droop panel (30) of an aircraft (10), the linkage mechanism (12) comprising a support structure linkage (62), a droop panel linkage (32), and a flaperon linkage (42), wherein the support structure linkage (62) is pivotally attached at a pivot end (64) to a support structure (60) of a wing (20) of an aircraft (10), wherein the droop panel linkage (32) is pivotally attached at a first end (34) to a droop panel (30), wherein the flaperon linkage (42) is pivotally attached at a first end (44) to a flaperon (40), and wherein a second end (36) of the droop panel linkage (32) and a second end (46) of the flaperon linkage (42) are pivotally attached to a connecting section (66) of the support structure linkage (62), wherein the connecting section (66) is spaced apart from the pivot end (64) of the support structure linkage (62), such that the linkage mechanism (12) is configured to transfer a pivoting motion from the flaperon (40) into a pivoting motion of the droop panel (30). The invention provides an improved linkage mechanism (12) for linking the flaperon (40) and the droop panel (30).
