Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for actuating control surfaces of an aircraft are disclosed. An example apparatus to control a control surface of an aerodynamic body includes a track rotatable about a pivot of a support structure of the aerodynamic body, the control surface slidably coupled to the track, a first actuator operatively coupled to the track, the first actuator to cause rotation of the track and the flaperon about the pivot, and a second actuator operatively coupled to the control surface, the second actuator to cause translation of the control surface along the track.
