  2. Flight control surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces

    Aileron surface. Ailerons are mounted on the trailing edge of each wing near the wingtips and move in opposite directions. When the pilot moves the aileron control to the left, or turns the wheel counter-clockwise, the left aileron goes up and the right aileron goes down. A raised aileron reduces lift on that wing and a lowered one increases ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileron

    An aircraft 'rolling', or 'banking', with its ailerons An aileron and roll trim tab of a light aircraft. An aileron (French for "little wing" or "fin") is a hinged flight control surface usually forming part of the trailing edge of each wing of a fixed-wing aircraft. [1]

  4. Trim tab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_tab

    Typical trim tabs on aileron, rudder and elevator. Trim tabs are small surfaces connected to the trailing edge of a larger control surface on a boat or aircraft, used to control the trim of the controls, i.e. to counteract hydro- or aerodynamic forces and stabilise the boat or aircraft in a particular desired attitude without the need for the operator to constantly apply a control force.

  5. Stabilizer (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabilizer_(aeronautics)

    A Boeing 737 uses an adjustable stabilizer, moved by a jackscrew, to provide the required pitch trim forces. Generic stabilizer illustrated. A horizontal stabilizer is used to maintain the aircraft in longitudinal balance, or trim: [3] it exerts a vertical force at a distance so the summation of pitch moments about the center of gravity is zero. [4]

  6. Stability derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_derivatives

    The stability axis system is used to get the X axis aligned with the oncoming flow direction. Essentially, the body axis system is rotated about the Y body axis by the trim angle of attack and then "re-fixed" to the body of the aircraft: [1] X stability axis is aligned into the direction of the oncoming air in steady flight.

    Its wing trailing edge can be seen with aileron (deployed downwards) and flap. The trailing edge of an aerodynamic surface such as a wing is its rear edge, where the airflow separated by the leading edge meets. [ 1 ]
