Abstract:
A load-bearing fairing element for a flap adjustment mechanism of an
aircraft comprises a shell-shaped fairing housing with an at least partly
U-shaped profile with an open side, a closed side, and a direction of
main extension, at least one first cover panel that along the direction
of main extension covers part of the open side, and a load-bearing bridge
element. The bridge element is arranged in the fairing housing and with a
base area conforms so as to be flush against an internal surface of the
fairing housing and extends towards the open side. The bridge element
comprises an essentially planar cover area that covers the base area on
the open side in order to produce a closed profile contour that is
circumferential on the direction of main extension. The bridge element
comprises means for holding a shaft feed-in of a central flap drive and
means for holding an adjustment mechanism that is couplable to the shaft
feed-in. Consequently there is no need to provide complex stiffening
structures within the fairing element.Claims:
