A yaw damper (sometimes referred to as a stability augmentation system [1]) is a system used to reduce (or damp) the undesirable tendencies of an aircraft to oscillate in a repetitive rolling and yawing motion, a phenomenon known as the Dutch roll.
U.S. Technical Air Intelligence Command (TAIC) tested two captured J2Ms using 92 octane fuel plus methanol and calculated maximum speeds using measurements. The J2M2 ("Jack 11") achieved a speed of 407 mph (655 km/h) at 17,400 ft (5,300 m), [5] and the J2M3 ("Jack 21") achieved a speed of 417 mph (671 km/h) at 16,600 ft (5,100 m).
Malabar’s primary business was aircraft jacks, including axle jacks for servicing aircraft, railroads, and automobiles. [ 7 ] Menasco Manufacturing Company acquired Malabar in 1945, [ 7 ] and relocated it to its Burbank, California, plant to operate as the “Malabar Division” of Menasco.
Aircraft jack lift used to support the tail of an EVA Air Boeing 747 to avoid the aircraft tail from falling to ground during the cargo loading/unloading activity in which the "tail heavy" situation may occur. They are used to support a parked aircraft to prevent their tail from drooping or even falling to the ground.
In aeronautics, bracing comprises additional structural members which stiffen the functional airframe to give it rigidity and strength under load. Bracing may be applied both internally and externally, and may take the form of struts, which act in compression or tension as the need arises, and/or wires, which act only in tension.
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.

A jackscrew, or screw jack, is a type of jack that is operated by turning a leadscrew. It is commonly used to lift moderate and heavy weights, such as vehicles; to raise and lower the horizontal stabilizers of aircraft; and as adjustable supports for heavy loads, such as the foundations of houses.
