Abstract: Tailplanes (24) and empennages (16) for aircraft (10) are disclosed. An exemplary tailplane (24) disclosed includes a stabilizer (30) having a fixed shape and an elevator (32) movably secured to the stabilizer (30). The elevator (32) is movable from a neutral position relative to the stabilizer (30). The stabilizer (32) and the elevator (32) define an airfoil cross-sectional shape (38) having a positive camber when the elevator (32) is in the neutral position. The positive camber of the airfoil cross-sectional shape (38) may facilitate movement of the elevator (32) during some flight conditions. Also disclosed are tailplanes (24) having camber distributions that vary along the spans of the tailplanes (24).
