- The rudder is the small moving section at the rear of the stabilizer that is attached to the fixed sections by hinges. Because the rudder moves, it varies the amount of force generated by the tail surface and is used to generate and control the yawing motion of the aircraft. This slide shows what happens when the pilot deflects the rudder, a hinged section at the rear of the vertical stabilizer. The rudder is used to control the position of the nose of the aircraft. Interestingly, it is NOT used to turn the aircraft in flight.

The opposite maneuver to tacking is called jibing, or wearing on square-rigged ships, that is, turning the stern through the wind. No sailing vessel can move directly upwind, though that may be the desired direction, making this a

That Damned Ship's Wheel! Particularly since James Cameron's film came out, there has been a good deal of misunderstanding about Titanic's wheel and First Officer Murdoch's famous order to Quartermaster Hichens. Murdoch's order was, Hard-a-starboard!. Hichens turned the wheel rapidly to port and Titanic turned to port, not quite avoiding the iceberg. What was going on? In 1912, steering orders were given in accordance with a very old convention, which was not phased out on British ships until January 1st, 1933. (Sir James Bisset). During a six month introductory period, the order was prefixed by the words 'wheel to', in order to reduce errors.
