What other control surfaces does a plane have then elevators ailerons and the rudder?

Other than the elevators, ailerons, and rudder, airplanes have flaps (which cchange the lift and drag), spoilers (which change the lift, drag, and roll), and slats (which change the lift).

What is used to control the movements of an aircraft?
The control surfaces, rudder, elevators and ailerons.
What are the three control surfaces of an airplane?
The three basic control surfaces of an airplane are the ailerons, rudder and elevators. Ailerons are on the trailing edges toward the outboard end of the wings, and can roll an aircraft. The rudder, which is in the vertical part of the tail, can cause the tail to be "forced sideways" and affect the yaw. Lastly, the elevators are in the horizontal parts of the tail, and they can cause the tail to be "forced up or down" and this will control the pitch.
How does a pilot control roll pitch and yaw?
In classic aircraft controls, the airplane's rudder controls yaw, the elevators control pitch and the ailerons control roll. The control handle controls rudders and elevators while ailerons are controlled by foot pedals.
What steers the plane?
the rudder, elevators, and ailerons steer a airplane.
How does the rudder effect the planes altitude?
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 parts helps the aeroplanes control?
Thereare three main control surfaces on an airplane, and these control the three axis of the plane. The ailerons are out on the wings and they control roll. The rudder is on the vertical stabilizer (the tail) and that controls the yaw of the airplane. Finally you have the elevators which are on the horizontal stabilizers of the airplane. the elevators control pitch. (nose up or down)

How and why are air planes able to fly?
An airplane flies by a combo of: Lift created by the wing: The wing has a specific shape, that lets air flow evenly over and under the wing, producing lift that keeps the plane in the air. Forward motion generated by thrust from the engines/propellers. Control over the plane is kept by the elevators,ailerons, and the rudder. The ailerons and rudder assist in turning the plane left/right, and the elevators assist in increasing/decreasing the pitch of the nose (angle of the airplane).
What part of a rocket makes it yaw?
The rudder is the part that makes it yaw. The elevators make the rocket go up and down and the ailerons bank it left and right.
What is control surface on airplane wing called?
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.
