A hinge mechanism (100) for hingedly coupling a flight control member (150) having a top surface (152) to an aircraft component (160) having a top surface (162) includes a first hinge member (110) pivotably coupled to the flight control member (150) about a first axis and slidingly coupled to the aircraft component (160) and a second hinge member (120) pivotably coupled to the aircraft component (160) about a second axis and slidingly coupled to the flight control member (150). The first hinge member (110) is pivotably coupled to the second hinge member (120) about a central axis. The first hinge member (110) and the second hinge member (120) are configured to cooperatively facilitate movement of the flight control member (150) relative to the aircraft component (160) between at least a stowed position (10) and a deployed position (20).
