You pull the 'stick' back, which raises the elevator surface, forcing the tail down.
The elevators are the control surfaces on an airplane with allow the pilot to control the airplane on the pitch axis (nose up and nose down) They are typically (although not always) located on the tail of the aircraft and are controlled by pulling the yoke (or stick) back for nose-up or forward for nose down.
The up and down movement of an airplane's nose is called "pitch." Pitch refers to the angle of the aircraft's nose relative to the horizon and is controlled primarily by the elevators on the tail of the airplane. Adjusting pitch affects the aircraft's ascent or descent during flight.
To fight off air resistance and go faster. If the airplane had a flat nose, (like your palm) the air resistance would affect the nose and make the plane slower, while a pointy nose allows the air resistance to pass by therefore making the plane go faster.
The elevators of an airplane control the pitch (nose up or down) of the aircraft.
The front of an airplane is called nose of the airplane.
Well, with all airplanes you have wing warping, which basically controls the wings and the direction the plane is traveling. This means that you can control the airplane around all three axis, which is in the definition of a airplane. All three axis means you can control the airplane in all directions, nose right or nose left, also known as yaw, nose up or nose down, also known as pitch, or wing up or wing down, also known as roll.
Elevators. They are the movable parts of the horizontal fins on the tail. When the move upwards, the airflow pushes the tail down, which points the nose up.
The elevator is used to control the airplane's pitch (up, and down angle of the nose). The elevator is located on the horizontal tail fins.
Pushing in on the yoke will cause the nose to pitch down. Lowering the flaps will also cause the nose to pitch down.
This varies depending on the design of the airplane, the weight of the airplane, and the weather conditions encountered during the takeoff, but is typically from 9 - 20 degrees nose up for jets.
The 'nose' .
Pitch - The nose up, nose down movement Yaw - The nose left, nose right movement (like a car) Roll - The rotational movement where the wings bank left or right
