Wing Flap Mechanism

fowler flap mechanism model preview — Scaled Fowler flap linkage model with the mechanism framed as the main artifact.

Inboard trailing-edge wing flap linkage mechanism. This was a scaled-down Grashof type-1 mechanism for demonstrating flap motion, actuated with an Arduino Nano and a microservo.

Build Notes

The mechanism focused on showing the motion path and linkage behavior rather than representing a full aircraft structure.
The useful part of the project was packaging the linkage, actuation, and sensor-driven control into something that could be demonstrated physically.
