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.
The leading edge of a radar pulse determines range accuracy. The trailing edge, along with pulse width, determines minimum range.
The leading edge of an aircraft wing is the front edge, while the trailing edge is the back edge. The leading edge affects the flow of air over the wing, creating lift. The trailing edge helps control the airflow and affects the aircraft's stability and maneuverability. Differences in the design of these edges can impact an aircraft's performance, such as its lift, drag, and overall efficiency.
Trailing edge is the rear edge of a wing.
The term TE MAC stands for Trailing Edge Mean Aerodynamic Chord. It is the average distance between the leading and trailing edge of an aircraft's wing, taken at the trailing edge of the wing. This measurement is important for calculating the aircraft's balance and stability.
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.
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.

The kind that goes fast.
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.
