#airfoil__control_surface__surface a device that provides reactive force when in motion relative to the surrounding air; can lift or control a plane in flight
supertype: #device an instrumentality invented for a particular purpose; "the device is small enough to wear on your wrist"; "a device intended to conserve water"
part: #leading_edge #trailing_edge
subtype: #aileron an airfoil that controls lateral motion
subtype: #elevator the airfoil on the tailplane of an aircraft that makes it ascend or descend
subtype: #flaps__flap__flap a movable airfoil that is part of an aircraft wing; used to increase lift or drag
subtype: #landing_flap__landingflap a flap on the underside of the wing that is lowered to slow the plane for landing
subtype: #horizontal_stabilizer__tailplane the horizontal airfoil of an aircraft's tail assembly that is fixed and to which the elevator is hinged
subtype: #rotor_blade__rotorblade__rotary_wing the long airfoil that rotates to provide the lift that supports a helicopter in the air
subtype: #rudder a hinged vertical airfoil mounted at the tail of an aircraft and used to make horizontal course changes
subtype: #spoiler a hinged airfoil on the upper surface of an aircraft wing that is raised to reduce lift and increase drag
subtype: #spoiler.airfoil an airfoil mounted on the rear of a car to reduce lift at high speeds
subtype: #stabilizer.airfoil airfoil consisting of a device for stabilizing an aircraft
subtype: #horizontal_tail the horizontal stabilizer and elevator in the tail assembly of an aircraft
subtype: #vertical_stabilizer__vertical_fin__tail_fin__tailfin a stabilizer that is part of the vertical tail structure of an airplane
subtype: #vertical_tail the vertical airfoil in the tail assembly of an aircraft
subtype: #wing.airfoil one of the horizontal airfoils on either side of the fuselage of an airplane
