An actuator system for actuating movement of a control surface of an aircraft wing includes a common input rail connectable to a means for providing movement to said input rail. The system also includes: a plurality of rotary geared actuators “RGAs”; a common output rail connectable to said control surface; wherein each of said plurality of RGAs is connected to said input rail by an individual input clutch and also connected to said output rail by an individual output clutch, and wherein the input clutch functions independently of the output clutch.
