ABSTRACT:
An aircraft having a composite configuration comprising a conventional fuselage forebody portion which symmetrically and variformly blends into a relatively wide, substantially flat beaver-tail-like afterbody, with said afterbody having an integral pitch trimming camber and a composite pitch control device and air brake, hinged transversely thereacross and forming at least a part of its trailing edge. A pair of upper and lower airbrake panels are fitted flat-like against the upper and lower surfaces of the pitch control device. The airbrake panels are provided with control linkage which permits the panels to move parallel to the surfaces and be angularly displace relative thereto.
