ABSTRACT:
A rudder restraint for grounded aircraft includes a central rudder trailing edge engaging bracket that may be secured on opposite sides of an airplane empennage by anchor clamps attached to the bracket through nonextendible cords. The clamps are attached to leading edges of opposite horizontal stabilizers. The leading edge clamps, nonextendible cords and central bracket hold the rudder against movement about its pivot axis. A spring is connected in line with one of the cords to enable a uniform tension to be applied to both cords when the restraint is positioned on the aircraft.
