And actuator and flap arrangement includes a flap, movable relative to a support structure, and two actuators. Each actuator has a portion fixed relative to a support structure, and two actuators. Each actuator has a portion fixed relative to the support structure, a portion movable relative to the fixed portion and connected to the flap for transfer of motor force to flap upon movement of the movable portion, and a motor for moving the movable portion relative to the fixed portion. The arrangement also includes a device interconnecting the two actuators for transferring motive force between the two actuators. L'invention porte sur un système de vérins et de volets comportant un volet mobile par rapport à une structure support et deux vérins présentant chacun: une partie fixe par rapport ladite structure support; et une partie mobile par rapport ladite structure support, et connectée au volet pour y transférer la force du vérin lors du déplacement de sa partie mobile; et un moteur déplaçant la partie mobile par rapport à la partie fixe. Le système comporte également un dispositif interconnectant les deux vérins et permettant de transférer la force motrice de l'un à l'autre et vice-versa.
