Taileron

In front of the front edge of the tailerons, the marking applied to the body for the full deflection of the tailerons (full up / down) can be seen

Tailerons are conventional elevators attached to the rear of an aircraft , usually in the form of a pendulum rudder, which support or replace the function of the aileron by independently controlling the two halves of the rudder . The term is a suitcase word made up of tail and aileron , the English names for aircraft tail and ailerons. It is a function-integrating component.

Among other things, tailerons can be found in the Panavia Tornado .
