The plane's auto-pilot system or a pilot will constantly adjust the angles of the ailerons, elevators, and rudder to the varying conditions to keep the plane stable, in a process known as trimming.

Trim is a secondary flight control system that incorporates small tabs on the ailerons, the rudder, and, most commonly, on the elevator. These tabs are moved (either electrically or mechanically ...

A mis-selected rudder trim switch caused a Virgin Australia Boeing 737-800 to suffer an in-flight upset that slightly injured ...

The individual planes only have elevator control – no rudder, no ailerons. Power comes from a standard LiPo battery, ESC and brushless outrunner motor. The control system is interesting ...

During a test flight on October 27, 1954, pilot Joseph A. Walker performed two rudder-fixed aileron rolls at speeds of Mach .92 and 1.05, which led to a phenomenon called inertial coupling ...

“Initially the autopilot countered the increasing left rudder trim’s resultant left yaw and induced the left roll, with an opposing and increasing right wing down aileron input,” said the ...
