A hinged control surface on the back edge of a tailless or delta-winged aircraft that does the work of both elevators and ailerons.
When the two elevons move together the nose goes up or down, and when they move in opposite directions the aircraft rolls. The word is a blend of elevator and aileron. Aircraft with no separate tail, such as the Concorde and the space shuttle orbiter, steer with these surfaces.
