Slat test piece
A small test piece I created to test the slat deployment mechanism. The challenge was translating push-pull spanwise motion to chordwise motion. The solution was creating spanwise stip that pushes thin strips of paper along a curved (90º) paper track. The resulting mechanism makes for incredibly precise and synchronized motions across multiple slat tracks at the same time (=SUCCESS!)
