Airplane Flight: X-Plane in the Classroom
Control Pitch - nose moves up and down
Control Pitch - nose moves up and down Yaw – nose moves left and right
Control Pitch - nose moves up and down Yaw – nose moves left and right Roll – airplane rolls along the nose to tail axis
Control Stability The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force.
