Summary:The application relates to flap assemblies with failsafe jam-resistant flap tracks. The flap assembly includes a track (402A,402B) having an elongate structure and a flap carriage (404) configured to move along a length of the track. The track is configured to couple to an aircraft wing and the flap carriage includes a primary roller (602) and a pair of secondary rollers (604A,604B) configured to secure the flap carriage to the track. A top portion (414) of the flap carriage is configured to couple to a flap such that movement of the flap carriage along the length of the track enables movement of the flap relative to the aircraft wing.
