In the construction of rudders and elevators, the necessary changein angle to alter the wind pressure, is accomplished either by pivotingthe entire surface, or by turning a flap hinged to a fixed siuface in frontof it. * See Chapter V. 13 Trip laneWings 5P^.,,, /Machine Gun 1; / 11 It ,-Fin 4^^RQMJB|Bf^PB|h|^^te rllf ~ ^ ^mSin^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ f/Vec/ Sfabilizei ^^^^ Movable Elevafor Flaps-- Single sealer Triplane tractor scout, used for fast pursuit and fighting.
