ABSTRACT:
Spoilers, mounted on vertical stabilizer tail surfaces of large aircraft release controllable Bernoulli forces to augment rudder and aileron aircraft controls. Data from surface pressure sensors, also mounted on vertical stabilizer tail surface, is computer-interpreted to minimize tail drag and structural flight-stress. The spoilers suitable for this role include parallel lines of controllable height barriers, located on the fore part of each side of symmetrical airfoils of airplane tails.
