No, but the wings have little flaps that do to control the aircraft from going up and down.

the wings do go up and down with the plane but otherwise, no.

Do airplanes move their wings?

Some do. A few high performance jet aircraft have a movable wing, called a "swing wing" At low speeds the wing is straight out, but at high speeds the wings fold back. A helicopter is an airplane- a "rotary wing" aircraft. The rotor is not a propeller, but wings that are moved through the air. The wings of regular aircraft also move some- they flex up and down as loads change.


How far does aircraft wing lift up when in flight compared to at a standstill?

Aircraft wings lift up to a higher angle of attack in flight compared to when at a standstill. This increase in angle of attack creates the necessary lift force to keep the aircraft airborne. At a standstill, the wings are typically kept at a lower angle of attack to help reduce drag and improve efficiency.


What is up-wash and down-wash in aerodynamics?

Upwash is the relative laminar airflow blowing fron underneth the wing which at the trailing edge moves upwords where as downwash is the laminar airflow blowing from the top of the wing moving downwards at the end of the trailing edge,,,,when they meet with each other ,it gives rise to vortices or eddis.


How does a plane change direction?

A plane changes direction by adjusting the ailerons on the wings to roll the aircraft left or right, using the rudder on the tail to yaw the aircraft left or right, and using the elevator on the tail to pitch the aircraft up or down. These control surfaces work together to maneuver the plane in different directions.


What is the force that that goes up?

The force that opposes gravity and causes objects to move upward is called lift. Lift is generated by the flow of air over the wings of an aircraft or other aerodynamic surfaces, creating a pressure difference that pushes the object upward.

How is a blue jay bird born?

They move it up and down, causing the air to create lift and thrust. Before they move their wings up, they adjust the wings to make it go down a little, then when move their wings down, they adjust them to make go up which creates lift.

How is it possible that military aircraft are able to fly upside down while the normal commercial aircraft can't?

Well, it is actually possible for a commercial aircraft to fly upside down or do a barrel roll.But the only problem is, when it tries 2 regain its normal position, due 2 it enoromous weight, the wings will shear 'tear' off.now U don't wanna fly an aircraft without wings @ 480 feet up in the air. That's a Bad Move :)


How does a aeroplane move?

Elevators control the pitch (up and down) of the aircraft. Ailerons control the roll of the aircraft. And rudders control the yaw of the aircraft.


How does the queen alexandras birdwing butterfly move?

it moves its wings up and down


How does a eagle move?

An eagle uses its wings to move and fly as most birds do. The wings move up and down in order for air to flow through them and allow the eagle to move forward through the air.


What is the controlling surface that regulates an aircraft roll?

At the outer ends of the wings are 'ailerons'. These are like flaps, but when one goes up, the other goes down, thus the aircraft rolls.


What Ship or aircraft movement involving deviating horizontally called?

Airplanes use three axis to describe movement in the 3 planes as follows: Pitch - Front moves up or down. Yaw - Front moves left or right. Roll - Wings move up and down as the aircraft/ship rotates along it main axis. I think your Answer is: Roll. actually the answer is Yawing


How does monarch butterfly move?

using its wings =D its wings press against the air which cause them to go down and up... basic physics ;)


Why do the wings on an F4 phantom tilt up and down?

To make the aircraft inherently unstable to quicken it's flight response in rolling motion.
