Flight Control Surfaces

Ailerons Are hinged, horizontal surfaces attached to the back (trailing edge), outer edges of the wings of the plane. Used to turn the plane. (ROLL) – Longitudinal Axis As one aileron rises, the opposite aileron lowers, raising one wing and lowering the other, tilting (or banking) the plane toward the lower aileron.

Elevators Are hinged, horizontal surfaces attached to the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. Control the plane’s movement upward or downward. (PITCH) – Lateral Axis When the elevators are raised, the tail is forced downward, the wings are forced upward, and the plane climbs.

Rudder A hinged, vertical surface attached to the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer (tail of the plane). Helps the plane enter and recover from turns by swinging the tail to the left or right. (YAW) – Vertical Axis

Flight Control Surfaces

Determine whether an airplane rises or falls through the air: Thrust Drag Lift Gravity (Weight) Four Forces of Flight

The force that pushes or pulls a plane forward through the air. Propellers, jet engines, tailwinds, and other outside sources – even catapults! – can provide needed thrust. Thrust

The force that resists forward motion and acts against thrust. Created by friction between the plane and the atmosphere. If the force of drag is too great, then a plane will move slower and will lose lift. Drag

The force of lift exceeds the plane’s weight, the plane rises. Lift

Earth’s gravity pulls the plane downward, giving the plane weight. Gravity / Weight

THRUST DRAG
