how about using the wings of an airplane as servo tabs? have the aileron be the anti-servo tab. ofc this would mean that the wings have to be very weak to twisting forces but they could still be strong otherwise.

i do not see a problem if you understand what the terms mean.

vomiting out random combinations of system parts/features is not a substitute for an actual idea

I understand the terms perfectly fine.
But literally WHAT?!

How the fuck would that work?

do you know how a servo tab works? well then the idea is that the whole wing would be the servo tab and there would be an aileron on the end acting as the anti-servo tab.

i'm not quite sure if this has been done with wings before but it has certainly been done with elevators where the whole elevator swivels, actually, many fighter jets today use this.

a problem with doing this with wings would indeed be wing strength.

oh and i forgot to mention, having the wings work as servo tabs has been a problem with many airplanes that have weak wings, try to roll to the left and the plane actually rolls to the right because the ailerons twist the wing to the opposite direction.
>>
>>8241055
You can't use a wing as a servo tab, what would the control surface be? A servo tab is always used to move another surface.

I think you mean to make the whole wing rotateable? Why would this be an advantage?

Also, many aircrafts already have a trim (aka servo tab) on the ailerons.
