Top on the F 102A Delta Dagger of 1953, an early use. Bottom on the F 117A Nighthawk of 1981. Elevons are aircraft control surfaces that combine the functions of the elevator aircraft elevator used for pitch control and the aileron used for roll control , hence the name. They are frequently used on tailless aircraft such as flying wing s. An elevon that is not part of the main wing, but instead is a separate tail surface, is a stabilator . The word elevon is a portmanteau of elev ator and ailer on . Elevons are installed on each side of the aircraft at the trailing edge of the wing. When moved in the same direction up or down they will cause a pitching force nose up or nose down to be applied to the airframe. When moved differentially, one up, one down they will cause a rolling force to be applied. These forces may be applied simultaneously by appropriate positioning of the elevons e.g. one wing s elevons completely down and the other wing s elevons partly down. An aircraft with elevons is controlled as though the pilot still has separate aileron and elevator surfaces at his disposal, controlled by the yoke or stick. The inputs of the two controls are mixed either mechanically or electronically to provide the appropriate position for each elevon. They were also used on Concorde .

Infobox aviation name Centre stick image Image Eurofighter Typhoon cockpit.jpg caption A fly by wire centre stick in a Eurofighter Typhoon cockpit. Image Mirage III cockpit MG 1348.JPG thumb Central forward area of the Mirage III cockpit, showing a centre stick. A centre stick or center stick in the United States , or simply control stick is an aircraft cockpit arrangement where the control column or joystick is located conventionally in the center of the cockpit between the Aviator pilot s legs. Since the throttle controls are typically located to the left of the pilot, the right hand is used for the stick, although left hand or both hands operation is possible if required. ref name Crane Crane, Dale Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms, third edition , page 132. Aviation Supplies & Academics, 1997. ISBN 1 56027 287 2 ref The centre stick is a part of an aircraft s Aircraft flight control system flight control system , and is typically linked to its aileron s and elevator s, or alternately to its elevon s, by control rods or control cables on basic aircraft. On heavier, faster, more advanced aircraft the centre stick may also control power assist modules. Modern aircraft centre sticks are also usually equipped with a number of electrical control switches within easy finger reach, in order to reduce the pilot s workload. The centre stick is used in many military fighter jets such as Eurofighter Typhoon and the Mirage III , but also in light aircraft such as Piper Cub s and the Diamond Aircraft line of products such as the DA20 , DA40 and DA42 . This arrangement contrasts with the more recently developed side stick which is used in such military fighter jets as the F 16 , the F 35 Lightning II and also on civil aircraft such as the Airbus A320 . History The centre stick originated at the turn of the twentieth century. In 1900 Wilhelm Kress of Austria developed a control stick for aircraft, but did not apply for a patent. Instead, a patent was awarded to the France French ... more details

In addition to controlling the flight controls roll or bank of an aircraft as do conventional ailerons, both flaperons can be lowered together to function similarly to a dedicated set of flaps. Both ailerons could also be raised, which would give spoileron s. The pilot has separate controls for ailerons and flaps. A mixer is used to combine the separate pilot input into this single set of control surfaces called flaperons. The use of flaperons instead of separate ailerons and flaps can reduce the weight of an aircraft. The complexity is transferred from having a double set of control surfaces flaps and ailerons to the mixer. Many designs that incorporate flaperons mount the control surfaces away from the wing to provide undisturbed airflow at high angles of attack or low airspeeds. When the flaperon surface is hinged below the trailing edge of a wing, they are sometimes named Junker Flaperons , from the doppelfl gel type of trailing edge surfaces used on a number of Junkers aircraft of the 1930s, such as the Junkers Ju 52 airliner, and Junkers Ju 87 Stuka iconic World War II dive bomber .

It was notable for its unconventional design characteristics, being a twin engine flying wing tailless design of pusher configuration . Design and development The Manx which appropriately shares the same name as a breed of Manx cat vestigial tailed cat was built to participate in a flight research program investigating problems associated with tailless aircraft. The partially swept wing s supported the vertical stabilizers of a twin tail , with elevon s for pitch and roll control. Construction of the prototype was subcontracted to Dart Aircraft of Dunstable. ref name Exper p5 6 Barnes 1980, pp.5 6. ref There were serious issues encountered early in the development phase that caused a delay in the testing program. After it was delivered in 1939, redesigns had to be made because the Manx was too heavy, and there were also structural integrity issues with the main Spar aviation spar . An unorthodox aspect of the Manx design incorporated into the aircraft was that the main undercarriage was retractable, while the nose gear remained fixed. Taxiing Taxi tests began in early 1940, but inspection revealed serious deterioration of the wing structures, which required extensive repair. ref name Exper p7 Barnes 1980, p.7. ref These and further problems delayed the maiden flight until June 1943 sources conflict as to whether it was 11 or 25 June. The first flight was terminated early when the Canopy aircraft canopy was lost in mid flight, but the pilot managed to land the plane safely.
