The FAT-455 Aeroplane Control Surface is a control surface for aircraft.

Product description

Large conventional control surface.

WinterOwl Aircraft Emporium

Usage

The FAT-455 Aeroplane Control Surface is often used to change the aerodynamic profile of planes. The FAT-455 Aeroplane Control Surface can be placed near the center of mass of a plane to act as a flap (changing the angle of attack of the wings), or near the tail to act as an elevon.

Like all FAT-455 parts, the FAT-455 Aeroplane Control Surface has a low heat tolerance (1200K), and should not be used in high-temperature conditions. Hence, it is not recommended to be used in a spaceplane as this would post a risk of the part overheating and exploding
