Tail Section Of An Airplane

The tail at the rear of the plane provides stability.
Tail section of an airplane. Not all fixed wing aircraft have tailplanes. Empennage is an aviation term used to describe the tail section of an aircraft. The empennage is also known as the tail or tail assembly.
The term derives from the french language word empenner which means to feather an arrow. The rudder at the back of the plane moves left and right to control the left or right movement of the plane. Four river journeys are required to transport fuselage sections and the horizontal tail plane of one airliner.
A tailplane also known as a horizontal stabiliser is a small lifting surface located on the tail behind the main lifting surfaces of a fixed wing aircraft as well as other non fixed wing aircraft such as helicopters and gyroplanes. Canards tailless and flying wing aircraft have no separate tailplane while in v tail aircraft the vertical stabiliser rudder and the tail plane and elevator are combined to form two diagonal surfaces in a v layout. The tail assembly horizontal and vertical stabilizer is also known as the empennage which originates from the french term empenner which means to feather an arrow.
Similar to how the feathers on an arrow stabilize the arrow in flight the tail ensures that the aircraft remains stable through all phases of operation. The fin is the vertical part of the tail. The elevators are found at the rear of the plane.
The empennage ˌɑːmpɪˈnɑːʒ or ˈɛmpɪnɪdʒ also known as the tail or tail assembly is a structure at the rear of an aircraft that provides stability during flight in a way similar to the feathers on an arrow. They can be raised or lowered to change the direction of the plane s nose.
