Job asked, twisting his head to try and see back over the tailplane.

At this time the right tailplane and the fin failed.

The tailplane now had a straight, rather than swept leading edge.

The tailplane is mounted on the top of the fuselage.

I have often seen pilots fitting the tailplane on before the wings.

The tailplane is a single piece, all moving surface.

Sometimes there may be two or more fins, spaced out along the tailplane.

The landing gear and tailplane were of far stronger construction.

Between them, these pods shared a tailplane and a high wing.

The starboard part of the tailplane had been lost.

The area of the tailplane and the vertical stabilizer was also increased.

The tailplane, like the wings, is detachable for easy transport.

The right tailplane was missing from the main wreckage.

A compromise is also possible, with the tailplane mounted part way up the fin rather than right at the top.

It has a tricycle landing gear and a low tailplane.

At about the same time the second prototype was fitted with a variable incidence tailplane.

It employed many of his design modifications, including a completely new wing and tailplane.

The elevator and tailplane were both single piece surfaces.

There was a short, square fin with the triangular tailplane on top of it.

The tail unit was conventional, with the tailplane just above the fuselage.

Like the wing, the tailplane was strut braced from below.

Then the cable wrapped itself around the tailplane, which led to the plane's nose to drop.

It had a long slim fuselage, with a low mounted tailplane.

Both the wings and tailplane are removable for transportation or storage.

The tailplane was enlarged and mounted in a mid-fuselage position.

Forward of the tail was a small horizontal stabiliser.

The cause was attributed to ice accretion on the horizontal stabiliser.

A photograph of the wreckage away from the main crash site apparently shows a horizontal stabiliser.

This allowed longitudinal trim in the absence of a separate horizontal stabiliser.

This accident was caused by the pilots who wrongly set a horizontal stabiliser.

The horizontal stabiliser and fin were sharply swept at their leading edges.

A horizontal stabiliser, usually mounted at the tail near the vertical stabilizer.

A horizontal stabiliser was fitted aft of the frame.

The Century was initially fitted with an "all flying" combination horizontal stabiliser and elevator.

Profiles of the same family were selected for the slender, wide-span horizontal stabiliser.

Not all authorities agree on this point and many experienced flyers maintain that the horizontal stabiliser is unnecessary.

The tail surfaces were all-moving, without a fixed fin or horizontal stabiliser.

The trimmable horizontal stabiliser was also modified to have increased span and more travel.

Some aircraft have no fuselage but do have a horizontal stabiliser mounted on one or more booms.

The horizontal stabiliser is a sparless carbon sandwich shell.

The empennage was a T-tail arrangement to keep the horizontal stabiliser above the central engine.

The all wood Katy was a true tailess aircraft, in the sense that it had no separate horizontal stabiliser.

This addition disturbed the airflow over the horizontal stabiliser, requiring small finlets on either side.

The tailplane comprises the tail-mounted fixed horizontal stabiliser and movable elevator.

Booms extend rearward from the wings and carry twin tails that are joined by a common horizontal stabiliser.

An interesting feature of the YA-19 design was its horizontal stabiliser located forward of the vertical tail.

This featured a redesigned wing of greater span, and modified horizontal stabiliser and landing gear.

A single elevator was carried on outriggers ahead of the aircraft, and a fixed fin and horizontal stabiliser behind.

The horizontal stabiliser was removed, a supporting surface was provided for each engine, and their accessories were covered to improve aerodynamics.

It was a conventional, low-wing cantilever monoplane with twin tails, mounted on the ends of the horizontal stabiliser.

Block 15 was the first major change to the F-16 with larger horizontal stabilizers.

The horizontal stabilizer makes the nose of the plane point up or down.

The only stock components on the two aircraft are the horizontal stabilizers.

The crew had reported to mechanics on the ground that they could not control the horizontal stabilizer.

Well, whatever it was that had just pulled itself loose must have been part of the horizontal stabilizers.

The horizontal stabilizer was also raised a few inches to give better ground clearance.

This up and down motion moves the horizontal stabilizer for the trim system.

This allows both the main wing and the horizontal stabilizer to be reduced in size.

But a horizontal stabilizer near the nose makes it look different from all of today's commercial passenger jets.

Nevertheless the horizontal stabilizer is referred to as a "lift" surface.

The horizontal stabilizer was changed to the variable incidence or "all flying" type.

The cause is attributed to ice accretion on the horizontal stabilizer.

It turned out that all three had been lost through a malfunction in the horizontal stabilizer, not by enemy action.

The aircraft has over 11,000 solar cells on its wings and horizontal stabilizer.

The horizontal stabilizer was treated in a similar manner.

"There's shrapnel damage all over the horizontal stabilizer," a Federal official said yesterday.

Without a horizontal stabilizer the aircraft entered an uncontrollable dive.

Pieces of wing then struck and dislodged the horizontal stabilizer.

The nose of the plane was flat and there was no horizontal stabilizer.

The accident investigation board concluded that the horizontal stabilizer was set at a down angle during the training mission.

Tail section has vertical and horizontal stabilizer fins in cross.

The foreplane to horizontal stabilizer area ratio is about 0.57.

Most affected was the tail, where large outer parts of both horizontal stabilizers had been ripped off.

The horizontal stabilizer was mounted halfway up the fin.
