AIRCRAFT HINGE ASSEMBLY
A hinge assembly 8a for an aircraft component comprises first and second hinge plates 9, 10, each hinge plate comprising a plurality of fingers 13-17. The fingers of the first and second hinge plates are interleaved. A seal assembly 28-32 is provided between at least some of the fingers. The provision of a hinge comprising interposed fingers allows for a hinge assembly having a complex aerodynamic profile to be made, while the sealing function is performed by the seals filling the gaps between the fingers.
