What Do You Call It?
I refer to the tailplane/elevator combination.
Tails on the likes of the F-4 I have seen referred to as "slab", "stabilator", "all flying tail", "flying tail".
The combination off trimable stabiliser with attached elevator, as on your typical Boeing airline product, Sea Vixen, Javelin, on the other hand also seems to be described in some quarters as an "all flying tail" and also a "flying tail".
I've wondered if it may be a case of two nations (US & UK) once again separated by a common language.
So what do you pros call them by way of differentiation, if anything.
Reason for asking later after some replies.
