What is used to control pitch on a plane?
Elevators
What steers the plane?
the rudder, elevators, and ailerons steer a airplane.
What is the best plane on classroom pilot?
It is the third plane, 140lb/ft wing tips on, and the elevators are on 5! :]
The elevators on a plane control what?
Pitch Pitch the nose UP or Down.
What are the parts of a plane?
Propellers Flaps Elevators Rudder Fuselage Wings Aileron
How do ailerons affect the airplanes altitude?
If the elevators are up, then the plain goes up but if they are down, the plane goes down.
What does the elevator in an airplane do?
Elevators are the flying control that controls the aircrafts pitch. Located on the tail plane, the elevators move up to pitch the aircraft nose up and move down to pitch it nose down.
What is the function of the elevator in a plane?
Elevators are flight control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircraft's pitch
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 .
What are the functions of a airliner planes parts?
Basically, Wings provide lift to fly Elevators make the plane point(fly) up and down. Ailerons make the plane bank. The rudder turns the nose of the plane.
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).
When an elevator on an airplane is up does the tail move down or up?
The plane follows the arc of the elevator and moves up when the elevators are up.
