US Patent 11207973 Active controlled integrated aerodynamic flap system

An actively controlled flap system includes a bar defining a rotational axis, a first flap rotatably coupled to the bar and configured to rotate about the rotational axis, and a second flap rotatably coupled to the bar and configured to rotate about the rotational axis, the second flap including an opening extending through the second flap. The first flap is rotatable between a first position in which the opening in the second flap is covered by the first flap and a second position in which the opening in the second flap is uncovered, and the second flap is rotatable between a third position and a fourth position.
