stabilator 1
a fully movable aircraft stabilizer that serves the usual functions of longitudinal stability, control and stick force requirements otherwise performed by the separate fixed and movable parts of a conventional horizontal stabilizer.
Examples
- 1.Stabilators were developed to achieve adequate pitch control in supersonic flight, and are almost universal on modern military combat aircraft.
