Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / aircraft construction, lasers | | German term or phrase: Führungsscharniere der Landeklappen | Ein weiterer möglicher Einsatz dieser Technik [Faserlaserstrahlung] ist das lokale Erneuern bzw. Aufpanzern bei Teilen mit starkem tribologischen Reibverschleiß. Solche Teile sind im Flugzeug vieler Orts zu finden z.B. die **Führungsscharniere der Landeklappen.**
I've been going round and round with this one. Are they the leading edge hinges of the airbrakes or something else altogether? I haven't been able to find anything really convincing for any of my theories. |

Next to no google hits for "Führungsscharnier"...
Hm. There's my two cents - hope it's of some use to you!

Trudy, I googled through a fair few of those combinations (guide/guiding/leading) - no joy. But then the same goes for "Führungsscharnier", for which I found only one single google reference, and that happened to refer to part of a piece of furniture in some erotic memoir...
Also tried primary hinge, finally hit some paydirt with control hinge. One link (http://www.sailplanes.com/english.htm) translates "control hinge" as Ruderscharnier.
For the purpose of your paragraph in question, it seems to me that such a hinge would be subjected to plenty of friction wear. FWIW... |

Asker: I thought of guide/guiding, leading edge, etc. Hadn't considered control. Not entirely convinced yet.
Asker: To Belgoglot: I wish *I* had a drawing :-)
