Panels for obstructing air flow through apertures in an aircraft wing

An aircraft wing assembly comprising:

• a fixed wing portion comprising a wing skin, the wing skin having an aperture formed therein;
• a movable member extending through the aperture formed in the wing skin, the movable member extending between the fixed wing portion and an aerodynamic device movably connected to the fixed wing portion;
• and
• a hinged panel configured to swing outwardly from an outer side of the wing skin toward an open position and to swing toward a closed position at least partially occluding the aperture in the wing skin, a movement of the hinged panel being configured to accommodate movement of the movable member extending through the aperture.

An aircraft wing assembly comprising:

• a fixed wing portion comprising a wing skin, the wing skin having a first aperture and a second aperture formed therein;
• a leading edge slat movably connected to the fixed wing portion;
• a slat track extending between the fixed wing portion and the leading edge slat, the slat track extending through the first aperture in the wing skin;
• an anti-icing duct extending between the fixed wing portion and the leading edge slat, the anti-icing duct extending through the second aperture in the wing skin;
• a substantially rigid panel movable at least partially across the first aperture formed in the wing skin for at least partially occluding the first aperture and for accommodating movement of the slat track extending through the first aperture;
• and
• a hinged panel configured to swing outwardly from an outer side of the wing skin toward an open position and to swing toward a closed position at least partially occluding the second aperture in the wing skin, the movement of the hinged panel being configured to accommodate movement of the anti-icing duct extending through the second aperture.
