Pitch Pitch the nose UP or Down.
Elevators
Elevators are flight control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircraft's pitch
on the tail of the plane
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)
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.
A hinged horizontal surface on an airplane or the like, used to control the longitudinal inclination and usually placed at the tail end of the fuselage.
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).
the rudder, elevators, and ailerons steer a airplane.
It is the third plane, 140lb/ft wing tips on, and the elevators are on 5! :]

no No, they do not control speed. Elevators are flight control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircraft's longitudinal attitude by changing the pitch balance, and so also the angle of attack and the lift of the wing.
