Example flap actuation systems and related methods are disclosed herein. An example flap actuation system (200) includes a first actuator (212), a second actuator (220), a first drive arm (219) coupled to the first actuator (212) and to a flap (202), a second drive arm (225) coupled to the second actuator (220) and to the flap (202), a first cam (506), and a first output shaft (304). The first cam (506) is to couple to the first drive arm (219) to enable the first actuator to actuate the flap via the first drive arm. The example flap actuation system includes a second cam (506) and a second output shaft (304). The first cam is to be uncoupled from the first drive arm in response to a failure of the first actuator. The second actuator is to actuate the flap via the first drive arm and the second drive arm in response to the failure of the first actuator.
