AIRCRAFT HINGE ASSEMBLY
A hinge assembly 8a for an aircraft component comprises first and second hinge plates 9, 10, having an aerodynamic surface. A first seal assembly 28-32 is provided and arranged to seal between the aerodynamic surfaces of the hinge plates. A second seal assembly 38-42 is arranged to seal between the undersides of the hinge plates in order to reduce pressure leakage between voids under the hinge. The provision of two seal assemblies, each having a dedicated function, addresses the competing demands made on the sealing arrangement of an aircraft hinge assembly in use.
