Abstract
The invention provides an aircraft with a trimmable horizontal stabilizer () that not requires a cut-out in resistant areas of the rear fuselage and that occupies less space that in conventional horizontal stabilizers. The rear fuselage () comprises at least a first section () having a resistant fuselage and a second section (), aft of the first section, having a non-resistant fuselage (i.e. a fairing). The load-bearing structure () of the horizontal stabilizer and the trimming actuator () are disposed inside said second section (). The pivot element () is mounted on its forward side and coupled to the first section () of the rear fuselage. The connection fitting () is mounted on its rearward side and the trimming actuator () is disposed so that it exerts a force in the direction of the Z-axis of the aircraft on the connection fitting () during a trimming operation.
