RemarksA track in general describes the structural link between the control suface and the parent. Tracks are e.g. the flap tracks, the revolute joints, where the aileron or spoiler is attached, or the kinematics, attaching slats to the wing.
The spanwise position of the track is defined by 'eta', which refers to the control surface dimensions.
The structural properties of the track (e.g. materials) are defined in 'trackStructure'.
If an actuator is included into the the track, a reference is given in 'actuator'.
The principal kinematic of the track is defined by setting the 'trackType' and 'trackSubType'. Please refer to the tables below for setting the 'trackType' and 'trackSubType' parameter. Note, those tables are not final - they are extended continuously.
For trailing edge devices (TED), the 'trackType' and 'trackSubType' parameter are defined as follows:
For spoiler, the 'trackType' and 'trackSubType' parameter are defined as follows:
For leading edge devices (LED), the 'trackType' and 'trackSubType' parameter are defined as follows: Currently no definition available.
