tailplane's Usage Examples:

A tailplane, also known as a horizontal stabiliser, is a small lifting surface located on the tail (empennage) behind the main lifting surfaces of a fixed-wing.

all-moving tailplane, all-movable tail(plane), all-moving stabilizer, all-flying tail(plane), full-flying stabilizer, flying tail and slab tailplane.

The elevators are usually hinged to the tailplane or horizontal stabilizer.

A T-tail is an empennage configuration in which the tailplane is mounted to the top of the fin.

empennage consists of the entire tail assembly, including the tailfin, the tailplane and the part of the fuselage to which these are attached.

surfaces include ailerons on the wings for roll control, elevators on the tailplane controlling pitch, and the rudder on the fin controlling yaw.

conventional aircraft configuration, separate vertical (fin) and horizontal (tailplane) stabilizers form an empennage positioned at the tail of the aircraft.

Dihedral angle is the upward angle from horizontal of the wings or tailplane of a fixed-wing aircraft.

design initially featured a conventional tailplane and elevator which was later replaced by an all-moving tailplane in the -Pe and Ka 6E variants.

stacked more or less vertically, one above the other, and where a separate tailplane surface is required, A Delanne wing aircraft (such as the Mignet Pou-du-Ciel).

The tailplane could be mounted either on top of the fin ("T-tail") or below the fuselage.

Spars are also used in other aircraft aerofoil surfaces such as the tailplane and fin and serve a similar function, although the loads transmitted may.

[page needed] In addition, the tailplane was cropped to a shorter span (by removing the rounded tips on the P.

scaled-down equivalent of the Victor's crescent wing and T-tail with slab tailplane.

landing at Marden Airfield, Kent following the failure of the starboard tailplane.

fixed tail-wheel undercarriage the FK166 also featured a strut braced tailplane at the tip of the fin.

together in elevation, carried a single tailplane rather than the pair used by the Boxkite.

The foreplane and tailplane moved together to control pitch.

II, with a fresh tailplane assembly, but was still only just adequate in performance and did not.

The Al 103 was used to test variations in sweepback, dihedral and tailplane area.

and a large biplane elevator unit trailing a small tailplane and small rudders under the tailplane.
