what is the purpose of a bell crank and a walking beam
to change direction of motion when the airframe does not permit a straight run
what is the purpose of a double spring bungee
to protect against both overtension and overcompression
the purpose of rigging and adjusting a primary flight control system is to regulate and limit surface deflection in both directions. what other purpose does it serve

27.5 degree leading edge down
the wing control system provides high lift and drag forces for takeoff and landings. what other advantages does the wing control system provide
increased lift for maneuvering and, at supersonic speeds, aerodynamic lift to reduce trim drag

a five position, four throw, momentary ON contact switch with a center OFF position
how does an aircraft that does not have trim tabs achieve lateral trim
by repostioning the lateral control surfaces as necessary to achieve a balanced lateral flight condition.
how is lingitudinal trim achieved on an aircraft that has movable horizontal stabilizers and elevators
by changing the incidence of the stabilizer
