Do airplanes have horns?

Do airplanes have horns?
The term %26quot;horns%26quot; can also refer to the portion of a flight control surface that is exposed to oncoming air when a control surface is deflected. Think of an elevator and a horizontal stabilizer like this: -- When the pilot pulls back on the yoke and raises the elevator, you get this: -/ The part that sticks out into the airflow is called the horn.
Reply:no need for horns you can see the plane a mile away on land.


to all the others the question is about horns not warning tones.
Reply:I really don%26#039;t think so.
Reply:If what you mean by horns are like ones in automobiles and intended to honk other vehicles/pedestrians, call people to get out of the house when you pick them out, or simply to annoy people, then no.
Reply:Some do.
Reply:Yep, more than you can shake a stick at.
Reply:remote control planes have %26#039;control horns%26#039; on rudders, elevators, ailerons, tailerons, canards or elevons.
Reply:Yes, they have a stall warning horns. They sound in the cabin when the aircraft angle of attack reaches a certain amount. In any configuration, if the stall warning sounds,(except when landing) put the nose down and increase the throttle.
Reply:Yes some do (like cargo), but they are usually intended as warning devices inside the aircraft.
Reply:Good Question..
Reply:There are various aural warning horns that sound on the flight deck, but nothing similar to a car%26#039;s horn in either sound or purpose.
