ben87r Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 G'day. I've got a question from my Aerody exam that has me and a few others stumped, ill put the question and answers up and see what you guys think You have a form of tab that as speed increases travel decreases. What is this called A. Spring tab B. Servo C. Balance D. Anti balance 1
Guest Maj Millard Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I 'll have a go at spring tab.................Maj......

nong Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 A. Spring tab Spring length changes more at high speed due to increasing aerodynamic load. Useful for limiting structural loads at higher speeds by moderating the effects of overzealous pilot input. 1
ben87r Posted September 28, 2013 Author Posted September 28, 2013 Any examples nong? Not knowing the answer I went with servo, my thinking was never hearing of spring tab that it sounded too good to be true and thought at the time that a servo tab could be more effective with speed. Think it's funny that vie not been able to get any of the instructors to answer it
djpacro Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 You don't see many spring tabs these days. From memory the Canberra had them.
loro Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 "Tailoring Control Forces" starting on Page 270 of Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators available here http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/media/00-80t-80.pdf may help.
