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 .

Does a inclined plane change the direction of the force?

No, the inclined plane does not change the direction of the force. It only changes the direction of the force component that acts parallel to the plane, but the overall force vector remains in the same direction.


How can a plane change it's direction?

By the pilot operating the controls of the airplane allowing one side or the other to dip downward and make a large arc in the sky, the end result going the opposite direction.

How do instruments help planes fly through clouds?

In a cloud, there are no visual references to tell the pilot how the plane is angled. A pilot might accidentally climb so hard that the plane stalls out. Or take off in the wrong direction, or fly into the ground. With instruments, the pilot can keep the plane aligned w/o seeing outside the cockpit.

How airplane take a turn in air?

Flaps increase air resistance on one wing, causing the plane to turn that direction. Alternately, one might increase thrust in an engine on a wing, causing the plane to turn the opposite direction. Some jet aircraft have attitude jets on the wing tips which can be rotated.
