there are three axis of motion for aircraft: Roll, Pitch, and Yaw, which correspond to the Z, Y, and X axis in three-dimensional space. (Translation: Yaw = left and right, Pitch = up and down, Roll = rotation)
as such, an airplane has three sets of control surfaces: The Rudder, The Elevators, and ailerons, which control yaw, pitch, and roll, respectively. the elevators and rudder are usually on the tail of the airplane, while the ailerons are on the wings.
sometimes, two or more of these control surfaces are combined, such as on the stealth fighter, which has the elevator and rudder combined into a V shape, called a butterfly tail.
so, to answer your question, the rudder does not affect the plane's altitude at all.

What do rudder Do on a planes?
a rudder causes a plane to yaw which basically means it turns but doesn't bank.
What was the effect of the rudder?
The effect of the rudder was when the rudder didn't work out well and had to restart the rudder over again. The effect was that it was making businesses harder to work at and many people lost money.
What are rudder?
Rudder pedals are connected to the steering mechanism in planes and boats, generally to make a turning motion.
What are rudder pedals?

Why are Vortex Generators fitted on Tornado Aircraft?
Vortex Generators are fitted on both sides of the base of the Fin, on Tornado Aircraft, to generate a turbulence, so that the Rudder has an effect at altitude, otherwise the Rudder is flying in a vacuum, and has no effect on the stability of the aircraft, causing judder, with possible buckling of the spine to occur.
What happens to your planes altitude if you do a chandelle?
Altitude increases.
What was the rudder's use or what was it used for?
A rudder is mounted on the stern of a boat and is used to steer. It can also be found on ships, planes, aircraft, and submarines.
What does a planes elevator do?
The planes elevator is used for vertical movement right below the rudder, it helps with getting up and down.
What part of the planes wing controls the direction of the plane?
Rudder on the wing of the plane controls the direction.
Why rudder angle is limited to 35 degree?
rudder is not hydrodynamically efficient beyond 35 degrees....at any angle exceeding the max angle the water across the rudder becomes turbulent and rudder loses its effect.
What is a perpendicular segment that joins the planes of the bases in a prism?
Altitude
What is the altitude of a rectangular prism?
the altitude of a prism is a segment perpendicular to both bases whose endpoints are in the planes of the bases.
