High lift system for an aircraft, aircraft having a wing and a high lift system and method for moving a high lift surface relative to the wing of an aircraft
A high lift system for an aircraft, comprises a drive unit, a high lift surface, at least one primary drive station, each primary drive station having a shaft connection couplable with the drive unit and a primary lever couplable with the high lift surface. The high lift system further comprises at least one secondary unit, each secondary unit having a secondary lever couplable with the high lift surface. Each one of the at least one primary drive station is adapted for moving the respective primary lever on driving the shaft connection, and each one of the at least one secondary unit comprises a selectively activatable brake, such that the secondary lever follows the motion of the one of the at least one high lift surface when the brake is deactivated.
