The vertical stabilizer is the fixed vertical surface of the empennage. A vertical stabilizer or tail fin [1] [2] is the static part of the vertical tail of an aircraft. [1] The term is commonly applied to the assembly of both this fixed surface and one or more movable rudders hinged to it. Their role is to provide control, stability and trim ...
Near Mora: [7] loss of vertical stabilizer [8] 1964-01-04 1964 B-57 crash Dayton, United States NRB-57 Canberra: Mis-management of fuel system, causing CofG to be beyond its safe rearward limit 2 Both wings failed 1964-01-10 B-52 flight test of vertical stabilizer New Mexico, United States B-52 Stratofortress: Unknowingly exceeded design ...
The pilots were able to keep the plane airborne for 32 minutes using differential engine power, but without any hydraulics or the stabilizing force of the vertical stabilizer, the plane eventually crashed in mountainous terrain. There were only 4 survivors among the 524 on board. This accident is the deadliest single-aircraft accident in ...
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]
Both the horizontal stabilizer and the elevator contribute to pitch stability, but only the elevators provide pitch control. [1] They do so by decreasing or increasing the downward force created by the stabilizer: an increased downward force, produced by up elevator, forces the tail down and the nose up.

Nose, wing and ventral strakes Vortices over the wing strakes of an F/A-18E Super Hornet. In aviation, a strake is an aerodynamic surface generally mounted on the fuselage of an aircraft to improve the flight characteristics either by controlling the airflow (acting as large vortex generators) or by a simple stabilising effect.
