  2. Gyroscopic autopilot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscopic_Autopilot

    The key feature of the gyroscopic stabilizer apparatus was that it incorporated a gyroscope to regulate the control surfaces of the aircraft. [1] Lawrence Sperry managed to design a smaller and lighter version of a gyroscope, [1] and the device was integrated into an aircraft's hydraulic control system. Using a negative feedback loop, the ...

    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.

    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.
