There is described an aerodynamic surface drive mechanism (20) containing at least a drive combination (50, 50′), each drive combination (50, 50′) comprising a fixed element (21) associated to a fixed aircraft structure and a first mobile component (22) connected pivotably by a first end to the fixed element (21) by way of an articulation axis (E) and associated to an actuator (30) by an opposite end, the aerodynamic surface drive mechanism (20) further comprises a second mobile component (23) rotationally associated to the first mobile component (22) by way of primary swivel joints (24, 24′) linearly disposed along a vertical axis (Y) and rotationally connected to the aerodynamic surface (40) by way of secondary swivel joints (25, 25′) linearly disposed along a horizontal axis (Z); the first mobile component (22) and the second mobile component (23) simultaneously moving the aerodynamic surface (40) linearly and rotatively by means of the actuator (30) and of the primary swivel joints (24, 24′) and secondary swivel joints (25, 25′).
