Mainplane vs Tailplane - What's the difference?

mainplane | tailplane | coordinate terms |

Tailplane is a coordinate term of mainplane.

As nouns the difference between mainplane and tailplane

is that mainplane is the wing of an airplane that provides most of the lift while tailplane is a horizontal airfoil, at the rear of an aircraft, to which the elevator is attached; usually associated with the tailfin.

Foreplane vs Tailplane - What's the difference?

foreplane | tailplane | coordinate terms |

Tailplane is a coordinate term of foreplane.

As nouns the difference between foreplane and tailplane

is that foreplane is a relatively flat surface located well forward of a vehicle's center of gravity used for stability and, when movable, used for steering and attitude control; common on submarines, also used on surface ships and aircraft while tailplane is a horizontal airfoil, at the rear of an aircraft, to which the elevator is attached; usually associated with the tailfin.

Tailfin vs Tailplane - What's the difference?

tailfin | tailplane |

As nouns the difference between tailfin and tailplane

is that tailfin is a fin at the tail of a fish, caudal fin while tailplane is a horizontal airfoil, at the rear of an aircraft, to which the elevator is attached; usually associated with the tailfin.

Elevator vs Tailplane - What's the difference?

elevator | tailplane |

As nouns the difference between elevator and tailplane

is that elevator is permanent construction with a built-in platform that is lifted vertically while tailplane is a horizontal airfoil, at the rear of an aircraft, to which the elevator is attached; usually associated with the tailfin.

Airfoil vs Tailplane - What's the difference?

airfoil | tailplane |

As nouns the difference between airfoil and tailplane

is that airfoil is (american spelling) a structure shaped to produce lift when moving in air while tailplane is a horizontal airfoil, at the rear of an aircraft, to which the elevator is attached; usually associated with the tailfin.

Horizontal vs Tailplane - What's the difference?

horizontal | tailplane |

As nouns the difference between horizontal and tailplane
