What is a elevator on an airplane?

The elevator is used to control the airplane's pitch (up, and down angle of the nose). The elevator is located on the horizontal tail fins.


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 is used to control pitch of an aircraft?

elevator


How do you pitch fast?

Maintain a high airspeed and change the angle of the elevator surfaces rapidly.


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


Does the elevator on a plane create drag?

Yes, the elevator on a plane creates drag when it is deflected up or down to change the aircraft's pitch. This drag results from the increased air resistance due to the elevator's angle of attack.


What does pitch control in an airplane?

Pitch controls the angle up or down of the aircraft.


What is the pitch of a aeroplane?

The pitch of an aeroplane is the angle at which it climbs or descends. Pilots control the aircraft with a control column or a "stick". When they move the column to the rear, we say that we "pitch the nose of the aircraft up", meaning it is now climbing. Likewise, if a pilot says "pitch the nose down", it means the column must be pushed forward to achieve a descent attitude. The control column is connected to the elevator (on the tail of the aeroplane). This acts as a tab that when "pitched up" it moves down, increasing the angle of attack on the tail, and generates more lift so that the aircraft cn climb. A trim tab is attached to the elevator which can be adjusted to match the amount of pressure put on the control column. By adjusting this, the pilot can let go off th control column and th aircraft will continue to fly in the same heading and pitch as it was left.


What do elevators do on a plane?

An elevator is part of the control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which changes the pitch or angle of attack of the aircraft. Basically it "makes" the aircraft nose up or nose down. See related link for an animated description.


What is an elevator on a plane?

The elevator are the control surfaces on an airplane that make the aircraft pitch nose UP or DOWN and causes the airplane to rise or descend. The Elevator are usually on the tail of the aircraft and are mounted on the horizontal tail surfaces. However, some aircraft have this control forward of the main wings.


Which best describes the action of the elevator on the tail of an airplane?

The elevators of an airplane control the pitch (nose up or down) of the aircraft.


What is elevator in microcontroller?

An elevator is an electronic device that transports people or goods in a vertical motion. A microcontroller embedded in the control system of an elevator is used to control the elevator's mechanisms.
