The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) is a flight stabilizing feature developed by Boeing that became notorious for its role in two fatal accidents of the 737 MAX in 2018 and 2019, which killed all 346 passengers and crew among both flights.
Grumman F-14 Tomcat jet fighter during a takeoff, with stabilators deflected upwards. A stabilator is a fully movable aircraft horizontal stabilizer.It serves the usual functions of longitudinal stability, control and stick force requirements [1] otherwise performed by the separate parts of a conventional horizontal stabilizer (which is fixed) and elevator (which is adjustable).
An aircraft stabilizer is an aerodynamic surface, typically including one or more movable control surfaces, [1] [2] that provides longitudinal (pitch) and/or directional (yaw) stability and control. A stabilizer can feature a fixed or adjustable structure on which any movable control surfaces are hinged, or it can itself be a fully movable ...
5 position trim system. A variable-position horizontal stabilizer changes the pitch simultaneously with the flaperon setting. Normally the horizontal stabilizer also known as tailplane is fixed and has a hinged elevator, a stabilator is another method that combines the functions of an elevator and a horizontal stabilizer.
Stabilizer operators are defined on the spins around each vertex and plaquette [definition needed] (or face i.e. a vertex of the dual lattice) [clarification needed] of the lattice as follows, A v = ∏ i ∈ v σ i x , B p = ∏ i ∈ p σ i z . {\displaystyle A_{v}=\prod _{i\in v}\sigma _{i}^{x},\,\,B_{p}=\prod _{i\in p}\sigma _{i}^{z}.}
The failure of Continental Express maintenance and inspection personnel to adhere to proper maintenance and quality assurance procedures for the airplane's horizontal stabilizer de-ice boots that led to the sudden in-flight loss of the partially secured left horizontal stabilizer leading edge and the immediate severe nose-down pitchover and ...
Due to buffeting stresses, [2] the stabilizer shaft broke [1] and the B-52's vertical stabilizer came off the plane. It was found 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from where the plane struck the mountain side. [4] With the loss of the vertical stabilizer, the aircraft had lost its directional stability and rolled uncontrollably.
