Distributed trailing edge actuation systems and methods for aircraft are described herein. An example aircraft includes a wing, a flap coupled to the wing, the flap movable between a stowed position and a deployed position, and a distributed trailing edge (DTE) actuation system including a flap actuator coupled to the wing to move the flap. The flap actuator includes an integrated hydraulic powered actuator and electric powered actuator. The flap actuator is operable in a hydraulic powered mode in which the hydraulic powered actuator is activated to move the flap, an electric powered mode in which the electric powered actuator is activated to move the flap, and a hybrid mode in which the hydraulic powered actuator and the electric powered actuator are activated simultaneously to move the flap.
