Embodiments provide a transitional element that bridges a gap between an edge of a flight control surface and an edge of a non-movable portion of an airframe. In one embodiment, a transitional element bridges a gap between an edge of a flight control surface and an edge of a non-movable portion of an airframe. The transitional element includes a plurality of ribs that span the gap. Each of the plurality of ribs has a contour that corresponds to the flight control surface and is configured to pivot a portion of a rotated angle of the flight control surface to generate a transitional surface across the gap.

    Des modes de réalisation concernent un élément de transition qui comble un espace entre un bord dune surface de commande de vol et un bord dune partie non mobile dun fuselage. Dans un mode de réalisation, un élément de transition comble un espace entre un bord dune surface de commande de vol et un bord dune partie non mobile dun fuselage. Lélément de transition comprend une pluralité de nervures qui couvrent lespace. Chacune de la pluralité de nervures a un contour qui correspond à la surface de commande de vol et est configurée pour faire pivoter une partie dun angle de rotation de la surface de commande de vol pour générer une surface de transition à travers lespace.
