Abstract

See full text

Tailplanes and empennages for aircraft are disclosed. An exemplary tailplane disclosed includes a stabilizer having a fixed shape and an elevator movably secured to the stabilizer. The elevator is movable from a neutral position relative to the stabilizer. The stabilizer and the elevator define an airfoil cross-sectional shape having a positive camber when the elevator is in the neutral position. The positive camber of the airfoil cross-sectional shape may facilitate movement of the elevator during some flight conditions. Also disclosed are tailplanes having camber distributions that vary along the spans of the tailplanes.
