ABSTRACT:
A trimmable horizontal stabilizer is provided adjacent to the fuselage of an aircraft and has a predetermined aerodynamic profile. A movable elevator is arranged adjacent to the horizontal stabilizer. The horizontal stabilizer has a load-bearing structure which extends in the span direction and is firmly connected to the fuselage of the aircraft, and movable areas which are connected to the load-bearing structure such that they can move and can be moved independently of the elevator in order to trim the horizontal stabilizer by varying the aerodynamic profile.
