When you look at a plane side-on. The left-most edge of the rudder attached to the fuselage is the leading edge whilst the right-most edge of the rudder is it's trailing edge.

What is the Importance of leading edge and trailing edge in radar pulse?
The leading edge of a radar pulse determines range accuracy. The trailing edge, along with pulse width, determines minimum range.
Why the trailing edges of control surfaces are sharper than the leading edges?
The trailing edge is where the air flow comes together. The leading edge is where the air is diverted to produce the low pressure (top) and high pressure (bottom) to create lift.
What is the definition of trailing edge?
Trailing edge is the rear edge of a wing.
How far A T clear zone must be located at least from the leading or trailing edge from the crater?
100 feet
How do gliders fly in circles?
Gliders circle by turning. This needs a down aileron on trailing edge of the outside wing, and up aileron on the trailing edge of the inside wing, and a little inwards rudder to balance the different drag from each wing, and a little down elevator from the horizontal tail trailing edge to keep up the speed even though the drag has increased. So when a glider flies in circles, it descends, unless there is an updraft.
What type of plane has a sharp leading edge?
The kind that goes fast.
Wing span is defined as the distance from the leading edge of an airfoil to the trailing?
wingspan is defined as the distance from wing tip to wing tip
What causes an object to break on impact?
Internal stress exceeds the strength of the material. The cause of the stress is that the "leading edge" of the object stops while the "trailing edge" is still moving.
Where are engine fixed in airplane?
Airplane engines are affixed to the front fuselage (nose), the leading or trailing edge of the wings, or the tailplane, depending on the type of airplane.
Prior to towing ramps may be installed on which edge?
Trailing edge
What is a chord on a airplane?
Chord refers to the distance from the leading edge of a wing to the trailing edge of a wing. Because wings are not perfectly rectangular, average chord is used and is calculated by dividing wing area by wingspan.
What allows air to hold a 115000 kilo plane in the air?
Air doesn't. Suction does. If you were to measure the wing from leading edge to trailing edge along both top and bottom surfaces, you'll find the wind has a longer distance to travel along the top than the bottom. This makes the air pressure lower above the wing than below it, and the lower air pressure pulls the plane up.
