1930s Swiss sailplanes

Aileron

An aileron (French for "little wing" or "fin") is a hinged flight control surface usually forming part of the trailing edge of each wing of a fixed-wing aircraft.

See Spalinger S.18 and Aileron

Air brake (aeronautics)

In aeronautics, air brakes or speed brakes are a type of flight control surface used on an aircraft to increase the drag on the aircraft.

See Spalinger S.18 and Air brake (aeronautics)

In aeronautics, dihedral is the angle between the left and right wings (or tail surfaces) of an aircraft.

See Spalinger S.18 and Dihedral (aeronautics)

Spar (aeronautics)

In a fixed-wing aircraft, the spar is often the main structural member of the wing, running spanwise at right angles (or thereabouts depending on wing sweep) to the fuselage.

Switzerland

Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, is a landlocked country located in west-central Europe.

See Spalinger S.18 and Switzerland

A tailplane, also known as a horizontal stabilizer, is a small lifting surface located on the tail (empennage) behind the main lifting surfaces of a fixed-wing aircraft as well as other non-fixed-wing aircraft such as helicopters and gyroplanes.
