Abstract
An actuator and flap arrangement includes a flap, movable relative to a support structure, and two actuators. Each actuator has a portion fixed relative to the support structure, a portion movable relative to the fixed portion and connected to the flap for transfer of motor force to flap upon movement of the movable portion, and a motor for moving the movable portion relative to the fixed portion. The arrangement also includes a device interconnecting the two actuators for transferring motive force between the two actuators.
Claims15
