TRAILING EDGE (TE)
The rearmost edge of the wing or stabilizer
TRAINER AIRPLANE
A aircraft designed to be inherently stable and fly at low speeds, to give first-time air crafters time to think and react as they learn to fly.
The trailing edge of most wings usually bows up or down so it helps to fit two small spars about 1" in front of the trailing edge. Covering has been known to warp many a wing.
Slats and Trailing Edge Flaps
Hinged portion of the trailing edge between the ailerons and fuselage. In some aircraft, ailerons and flaps are interconnected to produce full-span 'flaperons.' In either case, flaps change the lift and drag on the wing.
Alignment of Trailing Edge (Angle of incidence).-(a) Lower Plane.-The trailing edge should be brought parallel to the leading edge. This can be done by bringing the rear spar in line with the leading edge.
The rear stagnation line is at or very near the trailing edge. The Kutta condition says the air wants to flow cleanly off the sharp trailing edge. This determines the amount of circulation.
The chordis the longitudinal dimension of an airfoil section, measured from the leading edge to the trailing edge.
The span is the length of the rotor blade from the point of rotation to the tip of the blade.
Small trailing edge vortices, formed by outward and inward moving streams of air meeting at the trailing edge, move outwards to the wingtip and join the large wingtip vortex. Swirling air masses trail downstream of the wingtips.
The chord line is a straight line connecting the leading and trailing edges of the airfoil.
The chord is the length of the chord line from leading edge to trailing edge and is the characteristic longitudinal dimension of the airfoil.
The ailerons are panels built into the trailing edge of the wings. Like the elevators, they are used during flight to steer an aircraft and are manipulated by turning the control wheel or side-stick controller in the cockpit to the left or right.
For example, if the pilot shifts his weight to the right, the right wing trailing edge flexes up more than the left, allowing the right wing to drop and slow down. Yaw The yaw axis is stabilized through the sweep back of the wings.
Flaps are airfoils on the trailing edge of the wing. In normal flight they are at 0, and act simply as part of the wing.
They are located at the trailing edge of each of the two airfoils making up the tail of the plane. The name derives from a combination of the word rudder and elevator.
But, who says the separated air must meet at the trailing edge at the same time? Figure 2 shows the airflow over a wing in a simulated wind tunnel. In the simulation, colored smoke is introduced periodically.
Pitch trim is controlled by an anti-servo tab affixed to the trailing edge of the stabilator. Pivot the stabilator by hand and watch the trim tab: It moves in the same direction as the trailing edge of the stabilator, only more so.
The two ailerons, one at the outer trailing edge of each wing, are movable surfaces that control movement about the longitudinal axis. The movement is roll. Lowering the aileron on one wing raises the aileron on the other.
The chord line is defined as the imaginary line that connects the leading edge with the trailing edge. The angle of attack is the angle between the direction of the airflow and chord line. Deflecting a flight control surface modifies the chord line.
It's elliptical trailing edges are the result of changing the airfoil at the rear, rather than having different ribs at each station, so it's not as complicated as it looks.
The reduced speed area just outside of the airfoil becomes thicker and thicker as we follow it from the leading edge to the trailing edge. This area is called the boundary layer.
These air flows (inboard above and outboard below) meet at the trailing edge of the wing where they also form vortices. When viewing an aircraft from behind the left vortice will rotate clockwise and the right vortice anticlockwise.
As the trailing edge of a wing is deflected downward, the air velocity over the wing is increased as the air velocity under the wing is decreased. This means that under Bernoulli's Law, more lift is created.
Tab Usuallyy set in the trailing edge of a control surface, a tab is a small hunged flap that is used to regulate the control surface. This regulation helps ensure the plane is properly trimmed when the controls are centralised.
The aft part is narrow, tapered and called the trailing edge. A reference line often used in discussing airfoils is the chord or chord line, an imaginary straight line joining the leading and trailing edges.

A control surface, usually on the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer, which is used to control the pitch attitude of an aircraft. Movement of the elevator will force the nose of an aircraft up or down.

Flaps
Control surfaces installed on the trailing edge of a wing and used to increase the amount of lift generated by the wing at slower speeds. Flaps also have the effect of slowing an aircraft during its landing approach.
Control was achieved by using auxiliary wings or servo-tabs on the trailing edges of the blades, a concept that was later adopted by other helicopter designers, including Bleeker and Kaman.
Ailerons. Primary flight control surfaces mounted on the trailing edge of an airplane wing, near the tip. Ailerons control roll about the longitudinal axis.
Aircraft. A device that is used, or intended to be used, for flight.
To delay the stall to a higher lift coefficient, many airplanes are equipped with flaps (on the wing trailing edge), and a few designs use slats (on the wing leading edge) to further lower the stall speed.
Devised c.1864, the "Delta" had a solid, thin wing with a 45 degree swept leading edge and a straight trailing edge. It had a cylindrical fuselage with conical nose, a small tail plane and a pulse jet engine.

The horizontal surface (stabilator) feature a trim tab/servo mounted on the trailing edge. This tab services the dual function of providing trim control and pitch control forces.
The rudder is conventional design and incorporates a rudder trim.
Stall speed is right at the FAA upper limit for a production single, 61 knots, and that's a result of large flaps that span nearly 70% of the wing's trailing edge and deflect to a full 30 degrees.
resulting in neutral stability, which means the aircraft goes wherever you point it.
