A motionless skew detection system for an aircraft is disclosed, and includes a flight control surface of an aircraft wing, two drive mechanisms for operating the flight control surface, a first load sensor and a second load sensor for each of the two drive mechanisms, and a control module. Each of the two drive mechanisms are located on opposing sides of the flight control surface and each of the two drive mechanisms include at least a first linkage including a first outer surface and a second linkage including a second outer surface. The first load sensor is disposed along the first outer surface of the first linkage and the second load sensor is disposed along the second outer surface of the second linkage. The control module is in signal communication with the first load sensor and the second load sensor of each drive mechanism.
