Roll is the movement of the aircraft around it's longitudinal axis, this is a line from the nose to the tail.

What do ailerons make an airplane do?

Ailerons allow the airplane to make barrels rolls. If the left aileron is down, and the right aileron is up, then the plane will do a barrel roll towards the left. If the left aileron is down, and the right aileron is down then the plane will do a barrel roll towards the right.

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 is a definition of yaw?

Yaw moves the plane left to right as opposed to roll (spinning around an axis running from nose to tail of plane) and as opposed to to pitch which moves the plane up or down. Flying involves movement on all three axes..x, y, and z.
