What are horizantil stabilizers?

A tailplane, also known as horizontal stabiliser (and horizontal stabilizer in the US), is a small lifting surface located on the tail (empennage) behind the main lifting surfaces of a fixed-wing aircraft as well as other non-fixed-wing aircraft such as helicopters and gyroplanes.


What is the horizontal part of an airplane tail called?

It is called the horizontal stabilizer. The elevators are mounted on the tail end of it.


In A380 wing tail is present but in military aircraft like Eurofighter Typhoon you cant see separately the horizontal stabilizer. where is it if not how is pitching done?

The Eurofighter Typhoon is a 'canard' , that is, an aircraft that has an elevator or small wing AHEAD of the main wing. This is particularly obvious in the Typhoon, and it's competitor, Rafale,


Where is fuel held in a 747?

Most of the fuel is held in the wings. There is a "center wing tank" which is actually under the cabin as well as some models have fuel in the horizontal stabilizer (the "wing" on the tail).


What is a wing chord of a Fokker DRi?

That is hard to answer as the Fokker Dr1 Triplane had 3 wings of different Length and Chord(which is the lenght of a section of the airfoil). Also the Upper wing had a large aileron that extended the chord and the length for a section of that wing. I found a chord dimension of 3 Feet 3 & 3/8 Inches. I think that is the middle wing. Length of each Wing. Upper Wing (with aileron) =23 Ft 7 In Middle Wing = 20 Ft 6 In Lower Wing = 18 Ft 9 In Tail- Horizontal, Width = 9 Ft 10 In Tail - Length(front to back) = 5 Ft 3 In

How does the tail affect a birds flight?

The aerodynamic forces of the airplane's wing produce lift but also produce a moment that tends to pitch the aircraft nose down. This can be corrected by designing the Wing such that the Center of Lift is forward of the Center of Gravity. The Tail acts as a small wing that allows the pilot to control the pitch of the aircraft through the various flight regimes. The Horizontal Tail is a wing that also produces lift. On many a/c, this lift actually acts DOWN so that it counters the Nose down pitch induced by the a/c Wings. T-Tails are horizontal control surfaces that are mounted on the top of the Rudder of the a/c. This design places the tail surface out of the turbulent flow that sheads off the a/c fuselage and propellor. The disadvantage is that during height angle of attack, such as landing, the flow off the wings can suddenly wash over the tail surface and kill its effect. This is a serious problem. The old Fokker Dr.1 Triplane had 3 main wings and the tail was a large triangular surface. During landing the entire tail surface would stall and the pilot would loose complete control effects of the tail. Most large commericial a/c have the ability to trim the tail to balance out the pitch of the a/c. This is done by adjusting the angle of attack of the horizontal tail surface---the whole tail moves.
