ABSTRACT:
The tailplane 6 is mounted to an aircraft by a spigot 7 and is also rotatable about the spigot 7 to provide aerodynamic control. At the same time the tail plane is pivotable about an axis extending generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft in order to optimise the tail plane configuration for various speeds.
