Classes

AileratorControlSurface

Hybrid control surface combining aileron and elevator functionality, typically used on tailless or flying wing aircraft where pitch and roll control are provided by the same surfaces.

AileronControlSurface

Primary roll control surface that deflects differentially to generate rolling moment. Ailerons are typically mounted on the outer trailing edge of the wing.

ControlSurface

Base class for aircraft control surfaces that modify airfoil aerodynamic properties through deflection. Handles rotation animation, input processing, and integration with the airfoil system.

ElevatorControlSurface

Primary pitch control surface that deflects to generate pitching moment around the lateral axis. Elevators are typically mounted on the horizontal tail or stabilizer.

FlapControlSurface

High-lift device that increases wing camber and area to generate more lift at lower speeds. Flaps are extended during takeoff and landing to reduce stall speed and improve low-speed handling.

RudderControlSurface

Primary yaw control surface that deflects to generate yawing moment around the vertical axis. The rudder is typically mounted on the vertical stabilizer (fin).

Enums

ControlSurface.RotationType

Defines how the control surface rotates relative to the airfoil.

ControlSurface.Side

Aircraft side for control surfaces requiring differential operation like ailerons. Determines deflection direction for roll control inputs.
