Aircraft flight control system consists of 2 parts.
The flight control system consists of 2 parts - primary and secondary
500 points prize
congrats
Aircraft rotates about two axes.
There are 3 axes of rotation. Longitudinal, lateral and vertical axis respectively
Ailerons, elevator, and rudder are parts of the secondary system.
Ailerons rudder and elevator are flight control surfaces related to the primary flight control system
Ailerons control movements about longitudinal axis.
Ailerons control roll about the longitudinal axis.
When the pilot moves the control wheel left or right the airplane yaws.
When the pilots mover the control wheel left or right the aircraft rotates about the longitudinal axis. and this movement is called roll. we can also say - the aircraft rolls left or right
either go bankrupt, or get all points from another team
make your choice
When the pilot pulls the control wheel the airplane rolls.
When the pilot pulls the control wheel the elevator deflects up, which causes the aircraft to roll about the lateral axis, and this motion is called pitch
The rudder moves the airplane about vertical axis.
The rudder controls the airplane's motions about the vertical axis aka yaw

Name the three axes of rotation.
lateral, vertical, longitudinal
reset all scores
lets start over
Name the three primary control surfaces.
ailerons, rudder, elevator
What do the ailerons control?
the ailerons control roll
donate your scores to one of the teams
choose the team
What does the elevator control?
it controls pitch
What does the rudder control?
the rudder controls yaw
What is pitch?
motion of an airplane about the lateral axis
What is yaw?
Motion of the airplane about the vertical axis
What is roll?
motion of the airplane about the longitudinal axis

its a gift
We move the control wheel to operate …
ailerons and elevators
skip your move
have some rest
We push the pedals to operate the…
