2. 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.

3. Self-steering gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-steering_gear

   This construction is called "The Saye's Rigg". Another version of wind vane self steering on sail boats is known as the vertical axis vane and usually, because of the inferior steering force output compared to servo pendulum devices it makes use of a trim tab hung off the rudder to control the course of the boat. The vane spins at right angles ...

4. Chernov Che-24 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernov_Che-24

   Both the rudder and elevators have electrically powered trim tabs. [1] The fuselage, a two step hull design, is a fibreglass structure on all models with the glazed cabin well below the wing underside. The two seat Che-24 and Che-26 have the same length, side by side seats and upward opening doors. The Che-29 is 400 mm (15.7 in) longer and has ...

5. Swan 43 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_43

   The boat was delivered with a keel-mounted trim tab. [1] [2] [5] The boat has a draft of 7.16 ft (2.18 m) with the standard keel. A short mast was a factory option with a mast about 1 ft (0.30 m) lower than standard. [1] [2] The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo Penta MD2B diesel engine of 25 hp (19 kW

6. Flight control surfaces - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces

   Most fixed-wing aircraft have a trimming control surface on the elevator, but larger aircraft also have a trim control for the rudder, and another for the ailerons. The rudder trim is to counter any asymmetric thrust from the engines. Aileron trim is to counter the effects of the centre of gravity being displaced from the aircraft centerline ...

7. 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]

9. Vertical stabilizer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_stabilizer

   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.
