| REVIEW OF AERODYNAMIC TERMS - HORIZONTAL STABILIZER | ||
Aircraft have horizontal stabilizers in their design to “balance” the aircraft in flight. With the wings producing lift, the aircraft would potentially be unstable in flight without the horizontal stabilizer. The aircraft nose (front end) would pivot too much up or down due to the lift generated by the wings. Without the stabilizing influence of the horizontal stabilizer, the pilot’s job of flying would be much more difficult. |
