Drive system for a lift control device of an aircraft, aircraft wing and aircraft

A drive system for a lift control device of an aircraft, the drive system comprising:

• a first connection assembly comprising:
• a first track comprising a first end configured to be coupled to the lift control device and a track curvature having a radius of curvature;
• a first guiding element configured to absorb side loads from the first track by a first introduction means configured to couple a rotational degree of freedom around the radius of curvature of the track curvature of the first track, the first introduction means coupled to the first track at a first spanwise location and coupled to the lift control device at a second spanwise location different than the first spanwise location;
• a first drive device configured to drive the first track, and a second guiding element configured to sense spanwise movement of the first track, and
• a second connection assembly comprising:
• a second track comprising a first end configured to be coupled to the lift control device;
• a third guiding element configured to absorb side loads from the second track, and a second drive device configured to drive the second track;
• wherein the first and second drive devices are mechanically coupled by a transmission shaft, and
• wherein when the spanwise movement of the first track sensed by the second guiding element exceeds a threshold value, the drive system is stopped.
