| 1. | Elevon was originally created for the Virgin Galactic spaceflight programme.
|
| 2. | The cause of the accident was temperature gradients in the outboard elevon serve valve.
|
| 3. | Dalton Maag's library of typefaces include Lexia, Aktiv Grotesk, Magpie and Elevon.
|
| 4. | The solution usually adopted is to provide large elevator and / or elevon surfaces on the wing trailing edge.
|
| 5. | The inputs of the two controls are mixed either mechanically or electronically to provide the appropriate position for each elevon.
|
| 6. | Leading edge slats were fitted for increased lift during takeoff and landing, while the trailing edges were mostly elevon control surfaces.
|
| 7. | When displaced, this vector essentially pulls the trailing wing forward to compensate for the " adverse yaw " caused by the elevon.
|
| 8. | The rocket experienced a control oscillation as it went transonic, eventually leading to the failure of the rocket's starboard elevon.
|
| 9. | The restoration of outer lift by the elevon creates a slight thrust for the rear ( outer ) section of the wing during the turn.
|
| 10. | The elevon fell off the fighter and, one witness said, struck the plane's tail, which could have caused further control problems.
