To make an airplane turn a pilot increases the drag on one wing On which wing would a pilot increase drag to make the plane turn to the right?
The right one Kind of.
Actually by moving the aileron downward the pilot increases the arch of the wing causing it to produce more lift causing that wing to raise up, making the plane roll.
By moving an aileron upward the pilot removes some arch from the wing causing it to produce less lift and the wing dips.
The rudder on the tail of the plane actually steers the plane much like a rudder steers a boat. However it is a combination of the ailerons and the rudder that produce a coordinated turn, keeping the center of gravity in the center of the plane, and making it a comfortable turn.

What plane dropped the atomic bomb on hiroshima?
B-29 Superfortress 2nd Answer: Specifically the airplane was called the, "Enola Gay", named after the pilot's mom. The airplane carrying the H-bomb dropped on Nagasaki was called, "Bock's Car" - "Bock" was the last name of the pilot.
These brothers flew the first airplane?
Wilbur did...alsomore info..--------> A man named Otto Lilienthal inspired the Wright brothers to build their first airplane. He glided on a hill in a big kite-type thing called a hang glider. The brothers really liked this idea and kept thinking about it.When building airplanes, the brothers knew the plane had three requirements to meet. It would need wings to lift it in the air, power to propel it, and a way to control it. The Wrights had the most difficult time figuring out how to control the plane. The plane needed to go up and down, and side to side. Other inventors like Lilienthal and Chanute had previous success with the wings and power. Orville and Wilbur knew that it was very important to be able to control the plane. They knew the pilot needed to keep the plane balanced just like a person riding a bike needed to keep the bike balanced. They thought about how a bird flies and wanted the plane to operate like a flying bird.they had a successful experiment on december 17, 1903 creating an airplane. before the wright brothers, scientists has had numerous attemps to create an airplane and get it to work. these included kites, hot air balloons, air ships, gliders, etc. the first airplane evermade (by the wright brothers) flew only 10 feet off the ground and travled 120 feet and landed 12 seconds after take off.The Wright brothers were the first people to make a motor-powered airplane that could carry one pilot. The brothers flew their first successful plane on December 17, 1903. The airplane could fit one person and that was the pilot. The pilot had to lay down in the airplane. Wilbur flew their longest flight. It was 852 feet and was flown in 59 seconds. the first airplane was made of wood, metal and fabric to strech the wings.
What kind of person flies a plane?
A pilot
What is an attack from an airplane called?
Well there are multiple types of attacks from an airplane/plane/aircraft. If an airplane is bombing, it would be considered an air raid.
What was the name of the nagasaki aircraft and pilot?
The b-29 plane was name bockscar and the pilot was Major Charles W. Sweeney.
Is the captain of an airplane always flying the plane?
No. The co-pilot may take over as pilot in "command".
What would happen if someone refuses to turn off a lap top on a plane before flight?
They would be escorted from the plane. An airplane pilot has the same powers as a ship's captain. On the plane what he says goes. Disobey the pilot and you will be put off of the airplane.
Can a pilot fly out the window of an airplane if the window breaks?
Apparently so. This has happened at least once and the pilot survived! Google: "Pilot sucked out of plane"
What are the secondary functions of flaps on wings of an airplane?
Increases camber:Pushes more air down Slotted flap: Energizes boundary layer Increase wing area: Increases air diverted Increase separation: Slows plane during decent BY:Bineet sharma
Why did Lois Lowry's son die in a airplane?
He died in a plane crash. I think he was a show pilot when he died.
What is a skywriter?
That is an airplane equipped with a smoke generator. The pilot maneuvers the plane to form letters and symbols with the smoke trail.
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 happens to the IMA of an inclined plane if you increase the height?
