WHAT DOES TAILPLANE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tailplane

Tailplane

A tailplane, also known as horizontal stabilizer, is a small lifting surface located on the tail behind the main lifting surfaces of a fixed-wing aircraft as well as other non-fixed-wing aircraft such as helicopters and gyroplanes. Not all fixed-wing aircraft have tailplanes. Canards, tailless and flying wing aircraft have no separate tailplane, while in v-tail aircraft the vertical stabilizer, rudder, and the tail-plane and elevator are combined to form two diagonal surfaces in a V layout. The tailplane provides stability and control. In addition the tailplane helps adjust for changes in the center of pressure, and center of gravity caused by changes in speed and attitude, or when fuel is burned off, or when cargo or payload is dropped from the aircraft.

Definition of tailplane in the English dictionary

The definition of tailplane in the dictionary is a small horizontal wing at the tail of an aircraft to provide longitudinal stability Also called : horizontal stabilizer.
