It counteracts adverse yaw caused by the ailerons when banking for a turn.

The rudder pedals also steer the plane on the ground.

How does a rudder help an airplane fly?

A rudder helps an airplane maintain directional control during flight by controlling yaw, which is the side-to-side movement of the aircraft's nose. Located on the vertical stabilizer (tail), the rudder deflects airflow, allowing pilots to steer the airplane left or right. This is particularly important during takeoff, landing, and in maneuvers, ensuring stability and proper alignment with the flight path. By coordinating the rudder with ailerons and elevators, pilots achieve balanced and controlled flight.
