Distributed trailing edge wing flap systems are described. An example wing flap system for an aircraft includes a flap, a first actuator, a second actuator, and a shaft. The flap is movable between a deployed position and a retracted position relative to a fixed trailing edge of a wing of the aircraft. The first actuator is to move the flap relative to the fixed trailing edge. The first actuator is actuatable via pressurized hydraulic fluid to be supplied from a hydraulic system of the aircraft to the first actuator via a hydraulic module operatively coupled to the first actuator. The second actuator is to move the flap relative to the fixed trailing edge. The second actuator is actuatable via an electric motor of the second actuator connected to a first electrical system of the aircraft. The shaft operatively couples the first actuator to the second actuator. The first and second actuators are actuatable via the shaft.
