tailplane - Another word for a horizontal stabilizer.
takeoff - The process of using the thrust of the engines to accelerate an airplane down a runway until enough lift is generated so that the aircraft breaks contact with the ground.
tailplane
A fixed auxiliary surface at the rear of the fuselage providing stability in pitch, and to which the elevators are attached.

Tailplane: The fixed horizontal tail surface of an aeroplane.
Tailskid: A lever and shoe which, mounted on a fixed bracket and fulcrum, takes the weight of the rear end of the fuselage on the ground.
Tailplane The horizontal, fixed tail surface of a plane
Take off The movement of aircraft from a position of rest to the moment they are airborne
TAS The speed of an aeroplane through the air in which it is flying ...
TAILPLANE (STABILIZER) - Primary horizontal airfoil surface of tail unit. Can be fixed, or may have variable incidence, and its purpose is to provide longitudinal stability.

The tailplane surfaces are kept well out of the airflow behind the wing, giving smoother flow, more predictable design characteristics, and better pitch control.
The tailplane will collect ice more readily than the wing. The collected ice will more adversely affect the tail-plane's downward loading than would the same amount of ice on the wing. Ice may be on the tail before appearing on the wing.
The aircraft also featured an all-moving tailplane that allowed it to pass through the sound barrier safely. The pattern shape was followed to the point of removing a canopy.
They had cambered wings with radiating ribs that could be folded for transport and a fixed rear fin and tailplane that freely hinged upward. With these machines, Lilienthal could glide from 300 feet (91.4 meters) to more than 750 feet (228.6 meters).
This guarantees the wings will stall shortly after the tail does. Now you've got an airplane with both the wing and the tailplane stalled. Pushing forward on the yoke will only make the tailplane more stalled. This is not a good situation.
The plane had low cantilever wings, covered fuselage, a rudder, and a large, all-moving tailplane. The enclosed Antoinette engine drove a four-blade metal propeller.
Intermeshing rotors cause pronounced pitch attitude change in response to collective pitch change, The K-Max tailplane is connected to the collective to alleviate this problem as well as to reduce blade stresses and to produce touchdown and lift off ...
