	Tailplane surfaces
		This longitudinal stabiliser is usually a small wing mounted so that the lift force acts in the opposite direction to the lift from the mainplane i.e.
		The long established means is to use a fin, or vertical stabiliser, which has a symmetrical aerofoil section or just a flat plate, mounted at the rear of the aircraft and which applies a restoring moment to realign the longitudinal axis with the airflow.
		The horizontal tail volume is the surface area of the horizontal stabiliser plus elevators multiplied by the length of the moment arm of the horizontal stabiliser measured from the wing MAC quarter chord to the horizontal tail MAC quarter chord.

	Slip-turn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A slip-turn is a manoeuvre in which an aircraft turns using only the rudder.
		In most aircraft, the presence of a fixed vertical stabiliser complicates the manoeuvre.
		However, in those in which the whole of the vertical stabiliser comprises the rudder, such as the Fokker Dr.I triplane, the aircraft can be made to effectively skid in the horizontal plane, a technique employed by the German WWI ace Werner Voss to great effect.

	Spiral OS
		The large vertical stabiliser had a sweepback of 60 degrees.
		Aerodynamic controls consisted of the vertical rudder, elevons in the wings, and air brakes mounted at the top rear of the fuselage.
		During re-entry the wings were held vertically in the aerodynamic shadow of the fuselage shock-wave.

	ASK DJ Aerotech Question
		One final nail in the coffin of the "smaller T-tail stabilizer" theory is the effects of Reynolds number and span on the stabilizer itself.
		As the stabilizer descends into the slipstream there is a sudden increase in elevator effectiveness, which tends to cause over-rotation.
		Stabilizers mounted part way up the fin are also good in this regard, which is one of the reasons they are fairly common on model sailplanes.

	Project 921-3
		Based on the size of the presumed two crew side-by-side cockpit, dimensions could be very roughly estimated as a wingspan of 8 m and a length of 12 m, and a total mass of 12 tonnes (within the payload capability of the Chinese CZ-2E(A) or Type A launch vehicles).
		The narrow fuselage and wing tip vertical stabilisers were strongly reminiscent of the United States’ X-20 Dynasoar spaceplane of the 1960’s.
		This more closely resembled the Hannover model, except the latter was equipped with a modest vertical stabiliser similar to that on the Russian BOR-4 spaceplane.

	Spin doctor-07/09/2004-Flight International
		As has been widely reported, the vertical stabiliser on the A300-600 separated from the aircraft, which then crashed, killing all 260 on board and five on the ground.
		The exercise in the Impala is in no way intended to fuel the debate as to why the A300 lost its vertical stabiliser, rather it was developed to teach techniques for the evaluation of compliance with applicable governing regulations.
		The lift generated by the stabiliser and rudder bent the top to the left but this was overcome by the side airload imparted on them by the large sideslip angle.

	Stretch Kit
		The first job is to undo the screws on the horizontal stabiliser and remove it.
		The boom is then inserted into the tail gearbox and the vertical stabiliser fitted to hold it in place.
		Now fit the horizontal stabilizer and slide the tail servo down the boom so that the tail control rod can be popped back onto it's ball link.

	Olympus E-510: Digital Photography Review
		Living up to its reputation as one of the world leaders in digital photography, Olympus has equipped the body of the E-510 with an image stabiliser – so there’s no need to have it in every lens, as is the case with other D-SLRs.
		With Live Preview, a built-in image stabiliser for even sharper shots in shaky conditions and a new engine to guarantee exceptional noise performance and overall improved results, it’s clear that this D-SLR is ready to deliver nothing less than the ultimate in professional-grade photography.
		As the image stabiliser is situated in the camera, it works with each and every lens attached to the body.

	Russia's Fifth-Generation Fighter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The MFI is a 'heavy' single-seat fighter, employing an integral aerodynamic layout with all-moving canard foreplanes, a mid-fuselage mounted delta wing and an outwardly canted twin vertical stabiliser assembly.
		To increase stability in flight an additional vertical fin of comparatively large area is mounted underneath each vertical stabiliser (there is no so-called 'camber' between the lower fins).
		The aerodynamic design of the Yak was more closely linked to the 'stealth' principle than either the 1.42 or the S-32 - it had a nose like that of the F-22 Raptor, the trailing edge of the wing had a double 'break' and the twin fins were quite sharply canted.

		During a post-accident investigation of the flight control system, investigators determined that the elevator control push rod was disconnected from the elevator at a quick-disconnect fitting in the vertical stabiliser.
		On some aircraft, however, the elevator control surface may function normally even though the horizontal stabiliser is not properly secured to the airframe.
		A post-accident investigation revealed that the horizontal stabiliser had not been properly secured when the glider was assembled.

	[No title]
		The main muscles used in jumping which are located in your legs (the quadriceps and calves), have some smaller muscles linking them and the knee and hip joints.
		Due to the inability to see these muscles, they are often ignored in jump training but yield huge vertical increases when trained correctly as they are often extremely under developed.
		These muscles stabilise the leg in its extended state, a job which the main leg muscles normally have to perform.

		The aircraft's vertical stabiliser, or tail fin, was found in the waters of Jamaica Bay, half a mile from the main crash site.
		Investigators will be looking very closely at the bolts that held it in place on the tail of the A300.
		What is clear is that without the vertical stabiliser, the pilots would have found it impossible to control the aircraft, making the crash inevitable.

		The A-65 equipped Piet is said to have increased vertical surface forward of the CG which offsets vertical surface aft of the CG.
		This is destabilizing in the vertical axis and appeares to be present with the aircraft reluctant to return to straight ahead after a yaw is induced.
		You may also need a space to exist between the bottom of the vertical stabilser and the centerline of the horizontal stab to allow for a slot where vertical positioning of the horizontal stab can be made.

		Jul 17, 2004, 01:09 PM Canards are horizontal stabilizers located in front of the main wing rather than in behind it as in a conventional design.

		Fin - (also Vertical Stabiliser) provides directional stability (stability in yaw).
		Rudder - moveable part fitted to the Fin's trailing edge, is used to change the aircraft's direction.

		There was considerable technical risk in realising the vertical landing itself - and considerable operational risk in completing the fast and complex series of operations necessary to achieve the landing.
		They were delivered without orbital systems, engine section, crew cabin, vertical stabiliser, landing gear, and with only 70% of the heat shield tiles.
		Wind tunnel models - 85 wind tunnel models were built in scales for 1:3 to 1:550 to determine the vehicle's aerodynamic coefficients at all velocities, the effectiveness of the aerosurfaces, the moments of inertia, and the interference effects between Buran and the launch vehicle during launch and separation.
