servo
A component in an automatic flight control system that actually moves the flight control. There are servos in each of the primary controls: the ailerons, elevators, and rudder. The automatic pilot senses when a flight correction is needed, and it sends a signal to the servo to move the control surface in the proper direction to make the correction.
