An aircraft stabilizer is an aerodynamic surface that provides stability for an aircraft. It can be fixed or adjustable and is located at the tail of the aircraft.  Stabilizers are known as stabilizers because they provide stability. They can provide longitudinal (pitch) and/or directional (yaw) stability and control.  The two primary types of stabilizers are horizontal stabilizers and vertical stabilizers: Horizontal stabilizers: Prevent the aircraft's nose from moving up and down, or pitching. Vertical stabilizers: Prevent the nose of the plane from swinging from side to side, which is... Show more
