Typical Failure Modes for High Lift Actuation Load Paths
AIR7061
This Aerospace Information Report provides examples of single mechanical failure modes for components used in fixed wing, high lift actuation systems’ load paths, as well as the typical hazards posed by those failures at the aircraft level.
Rationale: There is a need to provide the aerospace industry a reference that can be used by the design community to understand typical failure modes of highly loaded, complex mechanical components in high lift actuation systems to help ensure that the system design and safety assessments are based on design knowledge and experience. This document fulfills this need.
