The ailerons are the control surface on the wings of an airplane. Ailerons control the bank (or roll) of the aircraft.
Underneath the wing are flaps, which slow the airplane down and provide lift, typically used during landings and sometimes for short-field takeoffs. Some large aircraft also have slats, which are sort of like flaps for the front side of the wing. Many aircraft also have spoilers, or air brakes, on the top surface of the wing.
On the tail are two other control surfaces, the rudder, which controls yaw, and the elevators, which control pitch.

What are the principal parts of an airplane wing?
The wing is the main flying surface. Control surfaces include the ailerons, flaps and slats.
Why is the surface on the top of an airplane wing curved?
The top surface of an airplane wing is curved to create lift. Because of the curve, air has to travel farther across the top of the wing than across the bottom; this creates a low-pressure condition that pulls the airplane into it.
What is wing to wing of an airplane called?
If you are referring to the distance from wing tip to wing tip, it is usually called "wingspan".
How does a fin compare to an airplane wing?
The fin and rudder help to keep the airplane flying straight and to steer properly. It is an airflow surface similar to the wing.
What does a fuselage do to help an airplane fly?
in a conventional airplane it connects the wing to the control surfaces in the tail.
What are the flaps on a airplane wing called?
winglett
What is an airplane wing supporter called?
This is called a "strut" or "spar".
What is the shape of a airplane's wing called?
The simple answer is an Airfoil. The upper surface of most aircraft wings, will have a curve to it ,while the lower surface is relatively flat. Aerodynamic or it is said to be in the shape of 'aerofoil'
What is a airplane with 2 sets of wings called?
A bi-wing.
The upward force acting on the wing of an airplane in flight is called?
The upward force acting on the wing of an airplane in flight is called lift. It is generated by the flow of air over the wing due to differences in air pressure created by the wing's shape and angle of attack.
What do you call a airplane with one wing?
That is a monoplane. The one in the picture above is a biplane.
What force pushes an airplane wing up?
The force that pushes an airplane wing up is called lift. Lift is generated by the difference in air pressure above and below the wing, created by the wing's shape and angle of attack. This force allows the airplane to overcome gravity and stay airborne.
