2. Description
Figure 1 shows the aileron structure. Each aileron has these components:
A. Bottom Shell
The bottom shell has inner and outer GFRP skins. A layer of carbon fiber cloth covers a large part of the inboard area of the outer skin. The skins bond to a rigid plastic foam core. The leading edge of the shell bends up to form a web. It then curves forward to form a shroud which seals the gap between aileron and wing when the aileron moves down.
The ends of the bottom shell also bend up to close the ends of the aileron. The leading edge, the ends and the area where the horn attaches have more carbon fiber cloth to give more strength and stiffness.
B. Top Shell
The top shell has inner and outer GFRP skins. A layer of carbon fiber cloth covers a large part of the inboard area of the outer skin. The skins bond to a rigid plastic foam core. The top shell bonds to the bottom shell.
C. Aileron Horn
The aileron horn is an aluminum alloy component. Three bolts attach the horn to the bottom surface of the aileron. A small hole in the leading edge of the aileron gives access to the front attaching nuts and washers. The horn also makes one of the aileron hinges.
D. Aileron Hinges
Each aileron has three hinges (as well as the aileron horn). Two bolts attach each hinge to the leading edge of the aileron. A small hole in the middle of the hinge gives access to the attaching nuts and washers. Each hinge has a flanged bush at the inboard end. A plastic plug seals the outboard end.
