Definition
a hinged surface on an aircraft that combines the functions of both an elevator and an aileron for control.
Etymology
From elevator plus aileron, blended into the portmanteau 'elevon.' The two aircraft control surfaces were combined into one innovative design.
Kelly Says
Fighter jets and experimental aircraft use elevons because they save weight and complexity—one control surface does the work of two, making planes more efficient and responsive.
