stabilisatorflater
Stabilisatorflater are trailing-edge surfaces located on the horizontal stabilizer (tailplane) of an aircraft. They are movable fins or flaps designed to modify the lift and aerodynamic moment produced by the tail, contributing to pitch control and trim.
The primary role of stabilator flaps is to adjust the tail’s lift and thus the aircraft’s pitch
Stabilisatorflater are typically hydraulically powered, but can also be electric or mechanically actuated. They are controlled
Use of stabilator flaps involves trade-offs among lift generation, drag, and structural loads. Excessive flap deflection
