Wings
The wings are monocoque, bi-spar structures. Main spars of each wing are linked to
the fuselage by two integral attach fittings. Each wing contains a main landing gear
well and sealed casings forming the fuel tank. The wing leading edge is equipped with
a deicing system.
Each wing extremity is equipped with a winglet.
Ailerons, spoilers and roll trim tab
The ailerons located on external trailing edge of each wing are hinged on two attach
fittings fixed on the rear spar. They allow airplane lateral control and are controlled
mechanically through control wheel rotation.
The spoilers located in front of flaps, on top skin side, are mechanically linked to the
ailerons.
Trim tab attached on the trailing edge of left side aileron is electrically activated by a
trim switch, through an actuator.
Wing flaps
- see figure 7.2.2
The wing flaps are large span slotted flaps with a single rotation point. They are
activated by actuating rod-controlled screw jacks linked to an electric motor located
under the floor, inside the fuselage.
A preselection control located on the right side of pedestal console allows the pilot to
select one of the three positions (UP - TO - LDG). For each control position, a
deflection angle is defined (0
°
, 10
°
, 34
°
).
A monitoring device interrupts flaps movement as soon as a deflection dissymmetry is
detected.
Empennages
Empennages are composite structures. The horizontal empennage consists of a
horizontal stabilizer (PHF), control surfaces and elevator trim tabs ; the vertical
empennage consists of a vertical stabilizer, the rudder and the rudder trim tab. The
empennage leading edge is equipped with a deicing system.
