The horizontal stabilizer (horizontal 'tail wings'), with the small movable
control surfaces at their back edge, are responsible for controlling the
airplane's "pitch" -- that's the nose-up or nose-down attitude. Without
them, the nose couldn't be kept level, or pitched up or down for rapid
climb or dive maneuvers. They're also involved in a properly "coordinated"
banked turn; without them, the plane could still turn, but peanuts and
drinks might be sacrificed.

How do planes stay in the air and keep flying?
Because the air-pressure under their Wings is greater than the air-pressure above their Wings. See the aero-foil.
What are the advantages of Bernoulli's principle in airplanes?
Planes have WIngs Dumb Nut! Your aim is off you Caddy wadller!
How do planes stay up?
Lift pushes the airplane up. The way air moves around the wings gives the airplane lift. The shape of the wings helps with lift, too.
Do planes have gravity?
Planes are pulled down by gravity, just like everything else. But at the same time, they're wings are being pushed up by air pressure, so the forces balance out and they stay up in the air.
Does the shape of an airplane wing affect its speed?
Yes,the swept back wings have the speed above sound,the wings where the airlines have has the speed just below sound and those planes where have wing that are a hundred degrees is a slow flying plane
Does a plane have 5 engines?
A plane which has 2engines on their wings 1 is also in the Tail of the Plane same with if a planes wings had 4 engines it also has one in the Tail of the Plane
Do planes have curved wings?
The majority of commercial planes have curved wings. The only purpose of removing them is for airborne stunts, and as such passenger and cargo planes have no reason not to have curved wings. Military and stunt planes will have wings that are closer to or perfectly flat, depending on the maneuverability needed.
What element is found in planes?
Aluminum is in the wings of the planes
Do paper airplanes fly better with short wings?
Yes, paper planes need wings to fly, if they were to be accurate to a real plane, since real planes have wings, so paper planes need wings, too. The wings provide lift for the paper plane, causing it to fly when thrown properly. No wings means it is just an ordinary folded piece of paper that you are trying to throw.
Why do planes need to run before take off?
The lift required to get the plane off the ground is created by the flow of the air over the planes wings.
What grows in the wings and the tail of a bird?
flight feathers
Cockatiel has lump between wings above tail feathers?
i need help with this question
How are planes different from helicopters?
Planes have large wings, Helicopters have rotors
Why cant an aeropane fly into space?
Because planes need air pressure against their wings to generate lift.
What do planes need to fly?
air, speed, wings, a pilot (unless if your a UAV), balance, and a way of maintaining speed
How do high speed fighter planes fly without aerofoil shaped wings?
High-speed fighter planes have aerofoil-shaped wings.
What lets birds and planes fly?
there wings
