Global Hawk Flaps?
Global Hawk Flaps?
(OP)
Greetings,
I am setting up an aerodynamic model of the Global Hawk UAV. I have looked extensively for the type of flaps used on the Global Hawk, but haven't found anything definitive.
Is there anyone that knows the flap type on the Global Hawk UAV?

What you are seeing in this picture is the inboard and outboard spoilers. It's interesting that this vehicle has split surfaces on all of the controls.
I have never seen a picture of this vehicle with flaps (of any kind) extended.

Only of interest in that it mentions a Global Hawk crash wherein a control surface actuator rod failed.

I found an article that mentioned the failed actuator rod. Evidently, they had a control rod failure in one of the ruddervators...
