Trailing edge assemblies, couplers and methods for deploying a trailing edge flap of an aircraft wing are disclosed. An exemplary method disclosed herein comprises guiding an aft portion of the trailing edge flap (28) along an elongated track member (36C) as the trailing edge flap (28) moves toward the deployed position; guiding a forward portion of the trailing edge flap (28) along the elongated track member (36C) as the trailing edge flap (28) moves toward the deployed position; and accommodating transverse movement of the forward portion of the trailing edge flap (28) relative to the elongated track member (36C).

    L'invention concerne des ensembles de bord de fuite, des coupleurs et des procédés de déploiement d'un volet de bord de fuite d'une aile d'aéronef. Un exemple de procédé selon l'invention comprend le guidage d'une portion arrière du volet de bord de fuite (28) le long d'un élément de rail allongé (36C) à mesure que le volet de bord de fuite (28) se déplace vers la position déployée ; le guidage d'une portion avant du volet de bord de fuite (28) le long de l'élément de rail allongé (36C) à mesure que le volet de bord de fuite (28) se déplace vers la position déployée ; et l'adaptation du mouvement transversal de la portion avant du volet de bord de fuite (28) par rapport à l'élément de rail allongé (36C).
