Stabilizer (aviation)

In aviation, a stabilizer is a flight control surface located on the tail of an aircraft that helps maintain stable flight. It includes the horizontal stabilizer, which controls pitch (up and down movement), and the vertical stabilizer, which controls yaw (left and right turning). These surfaces work together to keep the aircraft balanced and on course, especially during steady flight or small adjustments. They provide aerodynamic stability, allowing pilots to control the aircraft more easily and ensuring a smooth and safe flight experience.
