elevon

The word "elevon" is a portmanteau of elevator and aileron.

The elevon fell off the fighter and, one witness said, struck the plane's tail, which could have caused further control problems.

The solution usually adopted is to provide large elevator and/or elevon surfaces on the wing trailing edge.

I'm not even sure if we'll be able to air-refuel this thing without a rudder and with only partial elevon control."

On delta-winged aircraft, the ailerons are combined with the elevators to form an elevon.

The inputs of the two controls are mixed either mechanically or electronically to provide the appropriate position for each elevon.

Elevon was originally created for the Virgin Galactic spaceflight programme.

Q. In the timeline you guys put out, the first elevon trim adjustments are listed out over California.

It is called the "Elevon" font.

On 28 August Gunn encountered severe flutter which led to the loss of the whole port elevon.

I've looked at where these temperature sensors are located in the wheel well, at the elevon, both the left in-board, left out-board.

The problem occurred in an elevon, a movable surface that helps control the plane by deflecting the flow of air at the back of the wing.

Delta winged aircraft combine ailerons and elevators, and their respective control inputs, into one control surface, called an elevon.

He tried jamming the control stick hard left, hoping that the increased elevon authority would ... "Let go of the controls, MC!"

Elevon is an unincorporated community in Caroline County, in the U.S. state of Virginia.

Again we see an increase in the roll trim as indicated by elevon motion, indicating that the vehicle was reacting to an increased drag on the left-hand side.

The explosion sawed off twenty feet of the left inboard elevon, the flaplike control surface on the wing's trailing edge, completely separating it from the bomber.

In May 1953, the balsa wood strips were again removed, and the X-4's dynamic stability was studied in the original flap/speed brake and elevon configuration.
