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)

Why do aeroplanes have streamlined shape?

Aeroplanes have a streamlined shape to reduce air resistance, or drag, as they move through the atmosphere. This aerodynamic design allows them to cut through the air more efficiently, improving fuel efficiency and enabling faster speeds. Additionally, a streamlined shape helps maintain stability and control during flight, contributing to overall safety and performance.
