ABSTRACT:

Another edge of the rudder element extends alongside a surface portion of the fuselage or body of the aircraft in close conformity with said surface portion, but movable relative thereto. A sealing may be inserted between the rudder element and the fuselage in such a manner that said movement is permitted.
