Arrange these longitudinal control arrangements by increasing control power for a given area:

1. A conventional elevator on a fixed tailplane

2. A variable incidence tailplane with a separate elevator

3. An all moving tailplane or stabilator

Select the correct sequence.

  • A.1, 2, 3
  • B.3, 2, 1
  • C.2, 1, 3
  • D.1, 3, 2

Answer: A

Each step involves more of the surface in producing the control moment. The most powerful arrangement is also the lightest to move, which is why it normally carries an anti-servo tab to restore a sensible force gradient.
