A flat component made of deformation-resistant material which is pivoted/shivel-mounted to the outside of a torpedo by means of hinges or pivots. It is attacked by the wake inflow/wake current when the torpedo is in motion and is designed to generate forces by power-controlled turning-out/angling which, in turn, produce or compensate pitching or yawing motions and prevent roll movements of the torpedo. For fixed flat components which are mounted in parallel to the longitudinal axis of a torpedo and which are designed to dampen/prevent the roll and to stabilize the straight run of the torpedo see FIN, TORPEDO.
