Stabilizer incidence, like fuselage incidence, has a small but detectable effect on drag. If you have a fixed stabilizer set at the wrong angle for cruising, you have to correct by trimming in ...

A new automated system called MCAS is connected to the horizontal stabilizer, and is only found on the 737 MAX. MCAS is a safety device designed to run in the background and keep the plane from ...

The radiant heat from the sun received by each square foot of ground affects a number of questions, such as evaporation from the soil, the growth of close-growing crops, and snow conditions. One ...

Boeing has completed the critical design review of an enhanced angle-of-attack (AOA) system for the 737 MAX and will flight-test the improvements on the stretched 737-10 variant in 2022.. Faulty ...

Refraction and angle of incidence. When a ray of light is incident at normal incidence, (at right angles), to the surface between two optical materials, the ray travels in a straight line.

Electric motors turn the jackscrew, with threads somewhat like a long barber poll, inside the gimbal nut. This tilts the horizontal stabilizer up or down slightly to keep the plane in "trim ...
