TechnologyThe movable aft portion of the horizontal tailplane which is used to affect pitch or the climbing or descending attitude of the aircraft. Movable control surface, attached to the trailing-edge of an aircraft's tailplane (stabilizer) to controll pitching movements. The movable part of a horizontal airfoil which controls the pitch of an aircraft, the fixed part being the STABILIZER. ELEVATORS are moveable control surfaces hinged on the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer.
TechnologyA hinged device on the rear portion of an aircraft wing combining the functions of an elevator and an aileron. Usually found on delta-wing aircraft, it can be moved in the same direction on either side of the aircraft to obtain longitudinal control, or differentially to obtain lateral control.
