elevons
Delta wing controls
Elevons are control surfaces on aircraft that combine the functions of elevators and ailerons.
Found on delta-wing and flying-wing aircraft that lack separate tail surfaces, elevons move together to control pitch (climbing and diving) or differentially to control roll (banking).
The word blends elevator and aileron.
