This book analyzes the application of spring tabs to the elevator controls of aircraft. It presents equations for calculating the stick force characteristics obtained with this type of control, addressing the difficulties encountered in designing a satisfactory elevator spring tab. The author examines the main problems associated with spring tabs: providing stick forces within the desired range, maintaining force per g constant throughout the speed range, avoiding undesirable feel of the control in ground handling, and preventing flutter. The book discusses the variations in stick forces that result from small variations in contours of the elevators on different airplanes of the same type, and how elevators equipped with spring tabs can greatly reduce these changes. It also highlights the importance of accurate hinge-moment characteristics for spring tabs and the need for more complete information on these characteristics. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the design and implementation of spring tabs for elevator controls, offering practical solutions to the challenges faced by aircraft designers in achieving satisfactory control characteristics.
