Improved miniature trailing edge effectors for aerodynamic control are
provided. Three types of devices having aerodynamic housings integrated
to the trailing edge of an aerodynamic shape are presented, which vary in
details of how the control surface can move. A bucket type device has a
control surface which is the back part of a C-shaped member having two
arms connected by the back section. The C-shaped section is attached to a
housing at the ends of the arms, and is rotatable about an axis parallel
to the wing trailing edge to provide up, down and neutral states. A
flip-up type device has a control surface which rotates about an axis
parallel to the wing trailing edge to provide up, down, neutral and brake
states. A rotating type device has a control surface which rotates about
an axis parallel to the chord line to provide up, down and neutral
states.
