“All but the simplest aircraft have movable parts in the wings and tail. These movable parts are the ailerons, the elevators and the rudder. Together they are known as control surfaces”

Movements of Aircrafts
By: Fei Yang Chen

Control Surfaces
Rolling: Rotation around the front-to-back axis
Pitching: Rotation around the side-to-side axis
Yawing: Rotation around the vertical axis

Identification of the control surfaces
Ailerons: outboard trailing edge sections of the wing used to control roll
Elevators: trailing edge sections, used to generate additional lift during low speed manoeuvring and landing
Rudder: trailing edge section on the fin

An explanation of how the control surfaces are manipulated to induce the movement of rolling, pitching and yawing
The Ailerons Control Roll
Ailerons are located on the outer rear edge of each wing. The two ailerons move in opposite directions (up and down) to
