- Definição1
- A small movable control mounted on a primary control surface. The trim tab is adjustable in flight to change the aerodynamic load on the control surface. The aerodynamic load produced by the trim tab deflects the control surface enough for it to trim the aircraft for hands-off flight at any normal speed.
