ABSTRACT:
A conventional aircraft having horizontal stabilizers and hinged elevators, which is controlled, preferably, through push-pull rods, is provided with a dynamic torque (bob) weight connected to a rotating member, in the direct line of control to the elevator surfaces. The torque member is located in the nose portion of the aircraft with its center of gravity angled up from 20.degree. to 50.degree. when the elevator surfaces are in the neutral position. The torque member is also mounted in a flexible manner to isolate it from horizontal tail vibrations, or flutter.
