METHODS, APPARATUS, AND ARTICLES OF MANUFACTURE FOR ACTUATING CONTROL SURFACES OF AN AIRCRAFT

Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for actuating control surfaces of an aircraft are disclosed. An example apparatus to control a control surface of an aerodynamic body includes a track rotatable about a pivot of a support structure of the aerodynamic body, the control surface slidably coupled to the track, a first actuator operatively coupled to the track, the first actuator to cause rotation of the track and the flaperon about the pivot, and a second actuator operatively coupled to the control surface, the second actuator to cause translation of the control surface along the track.
