  1. Stabilizer

    An aircraft stabilizer is an aerodynamic surface, including movable flight control surfaces, that provides longitudinal or directional stability and control. Depending on the context, "stabilizer" may sometimes describe only the front part of the tail assembly. Stabilizers can feature fixed or adjustable structures on which movable control surfaces are hinged, or they can be a fully movable surface such as a stabilator. In the conventional aircraft configuration, stabilizers form an empennage positioned at the tail of the aircraft, with vertical and horizontal stabilizers being distinct elements. Other tail arrangements, such as the V-tail configuration, provide a combination of longitudinal and directional stabilization and control. Longitudinal stability and control may be obtained with other wing configurations, including canard, tandem wing and tailless aircraft. Some types of aircraft are stabilized with electronic flight control; in this case, fixed and movable surfaces located anywhere along the aircraft may serve as active motion dampers or stabilizers.
