ABSTRACT:
An aircraft empennage has a vertical stabilizer, a trailing edge fixed horizontal stabilizer rigidly attached to the aircraft and a movable leading edge elevator affixed to the aircraft. The elevator is movable through a high position and a low position relative to the horizontal stabilizer, thereby providing variable camber and incidence deflection and optimizing deflections while providing adequate power for all flight conditions.
