Applying left rudder turns the vertical stabilizer (tab) to the left, pushing the tail to the right and thereby the nose to the left (left turn). The primary role of the rudder is to reduce adverse yaw and thereby improve performance in banking turns and climbs.

Where is the ruder on the airplane?
The rudder is the back portion of the vertical fin on the tail. It is hinged and moves from side to side as required by the pilot.
How does a pilot change the direction of the plane?
A pilot has special controls on the plane which are used to fly the plane. These are used to roll, pitch, and yaw the plane. To roll the plane to the right or left, the ailerons are raised on one wing and lowered on the other. The wing with the lowered aileron rises while the wing with the raised aileron drops. Pitch is to make a plane descend or climb. The pilot adjusts the elevators on the tail to make a plane descend or climb. Lowering the elevators caused the airplane's nose to drop, sending the plane into a down. Raising the elevators causes the airplane to climb. Yaw is the turning of a plane. When the rudder is turned to one side, the airplane moves left or right. The airplane's nose is pointed in the same direction as the direction of the rudder. The rudder and the ailerons are used together to make a turn .

To make an airplane turn a pilot increases the drag on one wing On which wing would a pilot increase drag to make the plane turn to the right?
The right one Kind of. Actually by moving the aileron downward the pilot increases the arch of the wing causing it to produce more lift causing that wing to raise up, making the plane roll. By moving an aileron upward the pilot removes some arch from the wing causing it to produce less lift and the wing dips. The rudder on the tail of the plane actually steers the plane much like a rudder steers a boat. However it is a combination of the ailerons and the rudder that produce a coordinated turn, keeping the center of gravity in the center of the plane, and making it a comfortable turn.
What is a cheetahs rudder?
Their tail. It is called a rudder because like an otter it steers them at great speeds through the tight turns of the gazelle and the tight turns of the hare.
