  1. horizontal stabiliser

    A horizontal stabiliser is a part of an aircraft that helps to maintain its balance and stability during flight by controlling the pitch (the up and down movement around a horizontal axis perpendicular to the direction of motion). It typically takes the form of small wings located at the tail of the aircraft, opposite to the main wings. The elevator controls attached to the horizontal stabiliser further allow pilots to control the angle of attack and subsequently, the lift generated by the wings.
