Embodiment Construction
[0017] Methods and apparatus for controlling an aircraft horizontal stabilizer are disclosed herein. Changes in aircraft configuration (eg, relocation of wing control surfaces, wing lift or drag devices, landing gear, and / or changes in thrust levels, etc.) may result in changes in the aircraft's pitching moment. This change in pitch moment can be counteracted by a similarly sized reverse pitch moment, for example, to maintain relatively stable flight. This counteracting pitching moment is typically produced by a combination of fast-moving elevators that may sit on a relatively slow-moving horizontal stabilizer. In these instances, the pitching moment imbalance is mainly counteracted by the rapidly moving elevator. The relatively slow horizontal stabilizers are then placed to return the elevators to their original position. This positioning of the elevators to counteract changes in pitching moments caused by changes in aircraft configuration may reduce the maneuverability of ...
