Abstract:
A slat track device (7) for an aircraft wing (1) including a beam-shaped main load bearing track structure (9) connected to a slat (5) and movably connected to a main wing (3), a guidance surface (11) at the track structure (9) and guided along a corresponding guidance device (19) at the main wing, a connection device (13) at the track structure (9) connecting the track structure (9) to the slat (5), and an engagement device (15) at the track structure (9) and configured to engage a drive member (33) of a drive unit (37) provided at a main wing (3). The slat track device has redundant main load paths achieved by the track structure (9) having a first track member (41) and a separate second track member (43) both connected to the connection device (13) and the engagement device (15).
