A rudder is the device that is used to steer a ship or boat. It works because there is a propeller that pushes the boat along and then the rudder is moved back and forth by the steering wheel.

∙ 11y agoThe rudder is used to keep the plane's nose pointing in the same direction as the plane's flight path during a turn. Aerodynamic forces (called "adverse yaw") cause the plane's nose to move in the opposite direction of the turn and the rudder is needed to keep the plane in coordinated flight.
The rudder is not used to turn the plane. A plane is turned by using the ailerons to raise one wing and lower the other. This causes some of the plane's lift to "pull" the plane in the direction of the low wing. Using the rudder to turn the plane would cause the passengers to slide in their seats, waste fuel as the side of the plane started to face into the wind, and ultimately would cause the inside wing to suddenly lose lift and drop as the airflow peeled away from it.

What is a planes rudder used for?

Why do aeroplanes need wings?
An aeroplane needs wings because it helps with the main part of a plane- take off. 1.The reason why is that there are ailerons at the back of a planes wings and these help with the roll or the way a plane is steered so if we didnt have wings we couldn't steer a plane.2. The way you steer a plane you have to use rudders and these rudders allow the plane to have yaw used by the pedals .Yaw is like if you were to jump up on a trampoline and spin ,hense the motion of yaw , also to do with steering and wings. the last thing is that a plane has to have a pitch which is the way a plane takes off and to have pitch the flaps connected to the AILERONS at the BACK OF THE PLANES WINGS must be usable By Samantha Dudley.

How do air ships turn?
Airships have engines pushing them through the air and big rudders at the rear. When the rudders are put at an angle WRT the airstream, the ship will turn. For up/down they can either vent/fill some of the lifting gas, or - to some degree - use rudders for that too.
How do you fly the Wright brother's plane?
it is kind of hard to explain but there were to handles that you had to churn and you went down a ramp that helped you take off. Turns were made by twisting the wings to reduce lift. This technique was called wing warping. Today we use Ailerons, rudders and flaps to control the speed, lift and bank of the plane.
