trim (aviation)
It is known to use a ball screw actuator to control the position of a flight control surface in order to “TRIM” an aircraft’s position during flight. The actuator is used to provide a set position of a flight control surface to account for differential load distributions acting on the aircraft due to aerodynamic forces that may undesirably alter the aircraft’s position.
