all-moving tailplane

An all-moving tailplane was fitted on these early flights, to check out its general characteristics.

The narrow chord, all-moving tailplane is mounted on top of the fin.

The one-piece, all-moving tailplane has a similar plan and is fitted with a central anti-balance tab.

However it is not tailless because it has a small all-moving tailplane on top of the fin.

A low aspect ratio, rectangular, all-moving tailplane was hinged on the extreme rear fuselage.

All-moving tailplane, lengthened fuselage to compensate for altered centre of gravity, adding additional internal fuel.

The underside sloped up rearwards, with an all-moving tailplane hinged at its extremity.

The all-moving tailplane was hinged by its forward spar to the extreme rear of the fuselage, projecting well behind it.

The latter carried a wide chord rudder and an all-moving tailplane, mounted on bracing towards the top of the fin.

Supersonic and subsonic aircraft often have an all-moving tailplane (a stabilator) rather than separate elevator control surfaces.

The MCR4S has a T-tail with an all-moving tailplane.

Miles Aircraft test an all-moving tailplane as part of the Miles M.52 supersonic research aircraft design effort.

The fin carries a mass- and horn-balanced rudder and an all-moving tailplane at fin height.

The Lightning design shared a number of innovations first planned for the Miles M.52 including the shock cone and all-moving tailplane or stabilator.

In the redesign to meet the specification, the B.19/27 project took the Virginia Mark X all moving rudder together with an all-moving tailplane.

Owing to this incident, modifications were made to the second prototype, including the fitting of an all-moving tailplane, the modified aircraft not flying again until July 1954.

Similar to FAW 1, with the addition of vortex generators on wings for improved stall characteristics, as well as an all-moving tailplane.

The tail unit, with an all-moving tailplane, was also formed from PMI filled GRP.

The all-moving tailplane was given 23 of anhedral to improve control at high angles of attack while still keeping the tailplane clear of the engine exhaust.

Based on the Standard Cirrus, the original Mini-Nimbus HS-7 design had an all-moving tailplane and fibre glass wing spars.

Had provision for an unguided rocket pack under each wing, elongated tailfin fillet, all-moving tailplane, third airbrake added behind the ventral fin.

The design initially featured a conventional tailplane and elevator which was later replaced by an all-moving tailplane in the -Pe and Ka 6E variants.

The single most important development was the all-moving tailplane, giving extra control to counteract the Mach tuck which allowed control to be maintained to and beyond supersonic speeds.

Later, following conversion of the tail, pilot Chuck Yeager verified it experimentally, and all subsequent supersonic aircraft would either have an all-moving tailplane or a delta wing.

A one-piece all-moving tailplane is employed, and a feature of the design is the large wingtip endplate which slides rearward for access to the fuel filler pipe.
