Rudders significantly improved a ship's maneuverability and steering capabilities, allowing vessels to navigate more precisely and efficiently. By providing better control over the direction of the ship, rudders enabled faster turns and improved overall handling in various sea conditions. This advancement contributed to safer navigation and facilitated longer voyages, ultimately enhancing trade and exploration.

How do air ships turn?
Airships have engines pushing them through the air and big rudders at the rear. When the rudders are put at an angle WRT the airstream, the ship will turn. For up/down they can either vent/fill some of the lifting gas, or - to some degree - use rudders for that too.
How do the stern rudders and larger sails make ships more seaworthy?
A sailor can manage a ship better with rudders and move the ship. Larger sails were also moveable so they could change direction and speed.
DId Medieval ships have rudders?
Yes, medieval ships did have rudders, although their design evolved over time. Early vessels often used oars for steering, but by the late medieval period, the stern-mounted rudder became more common, improving navigational control. This advancement allowed for better maneuverability and played a significant role in the development of larger ships for trade and warfare.
What do flagella enable prokatyotic cell to do?
Flagella are like little rudders, they allow them to move around.
How did improved ship designs and new tools makes safer to explore by sea?
Ships and navigation improved in the 1400 and 1500's. Ships got rudders and moveable sails. With these they were able to move better and catch winds rather than just sitting waiting for wind. Tools for navigation improved as well. The astrolabe was invented to allow the use of longitude and latitude settings. Ships were also bigger.
