The elevators on a plane control what?

Pitch Pitch the nose UP or Down.


Does the rudder control the pitch?

No, the rudder does not control the pitch of an aircraft. The rudder is primarily used for controlling yaw, which is the side-to-side movement of the aircraft's nose. Pitch is controlled by the elevator, which is located on the tail of the aircraft and adjusts the angle of the plane's nose up or down.


What is the function of the elevator in a plane?

Elevators are flight control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircraft's pitch


What are each of the control surface used for on a plane?

The ailerons are used to control roll rate. The flaps are used to increase lift at slow speeds. The elevators are use to control pitch. The rudder is used to control yaw. The spoilers are used to slow the aircraft quickly. The trim tabs are used to adjust back pressure to achieve straight and level flight with no control input.


What does the elevater do on a plane?

It changes the profile of the wing and so changes the lift. If the same change is applied to both wings the plane will gain or lose height. If opposite changes are applied, one wing will drop, the other will rise and the plane will turn.


What are the up and down movements of a plane?

The up movement of a plane is achieved by increasing thrust and pitch angle, allowing the wings to generate more lift. The down movement is achieved by decreasing thrust and pitch angle, causing the plane to descend due to gravity. Additional control surfaces, such as flaps and spoilers, can also be used to assist in these movements.


What is used to control pitch of an aircraft?

elevator


What control surface controls pitch?

The control surface that controls pitch is the elevator. It is located on the horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft and is used to control the aircraft's pitch attitude by adjusting the angle of the stabilizer.


What does the elevator in an airplane do?

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.


When does the plane have downward pitch?

When the yoke is pushed down on the engine thrust is stopped (suddenly)


What is used for super sonic transport?

How can you slow a plane down?

there are a couple of ways to slow a plane down. the first is to throttle down, this will help decrease speed. the second is pitch, if you increase the pitch, or raise the nose, you can decrease speed too. most aircraft have a pitch control wheel that raises or lowers the pitch (Nose) of the aircraft. By raising the pitch alittle and throttling down, you will slow the aircraft down really quick.
