The present disclosure pertains to an actuation mechanism for a flap with aileron functionality, including a crank having a crank axle, a crank arm and a crank pivot; a displacement shaft articulated to the crank pivot at an actuating end portion; and a rotatable linear-motion bearing in which the displacement shaft is slidably supported, wherein the displacement shaft is fixedly connectable to a flap body of the aircraft flap at a flap end portion of the displacement shaft opposite to the actuating end portion, and wherein the linear-motion bearing is rotatably attachable at a pivot point to an aircraft wing comprising the aircraft flap, so that the displacement shaft is able to rotate around an axis running spanwise of the aircraft wing around the pivot point. The present disclosure further pertains to an aircraft flap with such an actuation mechanism and an aircraft having an aircraft flap.
