Zusammenfassung:Aircraft trailing edge devices (230) , including devices with non-parallel motion paths (241, 242, 243) , and associated methods are disclosed. A device in accordance with one embodiment includes a wing (220) and an inboard trailing edge (231) device coupled to the wing and movable relative to the wing between a first stowed position and a first deployed position along a first motion path (241). An outboard trailing edge (232) device can be coupled to the wing outboard of the inboard trailing edge device, and can be movable relative to the wing along a second motion path (242) that is non-parallel to the first motion path. An intermediate trailing edge device (260) can be coupled between the inboard and outboard trailing edge devices and can be movable along a third motion path (243) that is non-parallel to both the first and second motion paths. Each of the trailing edge devices can open a gap relative to the wing when moved to their respective deployed positions.
