System for driving and guiding of a trailing edge control surface

An aircraft having a wing with a system for driving and guiding of a trailing edge control surface arranged on a trailing edge region of the wing, the system comprising:

• a first guide device attached to the wing and coupled with an inboard section of the control surface for guiding the inboard section of the control surface along a predetermined trajectory relative to the trailing edge region of the wing between a retracted position and at least one extended position;
• a second guide device attached to the wing and holding a connecting means of an outboard section of the control surface;
• and
• a drive device fixedly attached to the wing and the control surface for moving the control surface;
• wherein the trajectory is a spatial path at least along one dimension, wherein a distance between the inboard section of the control surface and a fixed part of the wing changes during a motion of the inboard section on the trajectory;
• and
• wherein at least one of the second guide device and the connecting means is designed to swivably hold the connecting means of the outboard section of the control surface under prevention of a translatory motion of the connecting means relative to the wing.
