Time to repost this (or similar) article link every time someone also asks about:
- how do manual trim wheels, cables and the jackscrew work
- why the horizontal stabiliser is loaded via opposing elevator aerodynamic forces
- alternative techniques for unloading the HS jackscrew (roller coaster)
- why didn't the pilots do X or Y?
- can the plane fly inverted?
- why was this certified?
