Primary Surfaces
What surface is used to control the pitch axis.
What is/are elevators?
What secondary surface extends the wing cord line?
What are the flaps and slats?
When taking off and "landing" Japanese Planes used this axis a lot to aid them in their often used strategies during WW2.
The Pitch Axis
If I stop moving forward, what else happens?
What is loosing lift?
In the movie, "The Flight" it reinacted of an Alaskan Airlines plane crash that cause their horizontal stab to cause a steep dive. In a last ditch effort to save the plane, what did the pilots do to recover the plane?
What was Inverting the plane and "Leveling" the plane. Until they realized they were doomed as the horizontal stab was jammed.
What surface controls the Roll axis?
What are ailerons?
What secondary surface slows airflow over the wing causing lift to be reduced?
What are Spoilers?
During the second mission of Starfox 64, a rabbit keeps telling you to "DO A BARREL ROLL!" What axis is being used in the video game?
What is the roll axis?
If I raise my spoilers what do I loose?
What is lift?
When a DC-10's rear cargo door blew out in flight, it collapsed the passanger floor, causing this to be lossed...
What was all flight surface control.
What surface controls the Yaw Axis?
What is the Rudder?
Which secondary surface controls the position of a primary surface?
What are the trim tabs?
Dutch Roll is caused by these two Axises?
What is the yaw axis and roll axis?
When Drag is increased it reduces your speed causing your what to follow?
When a DC-10 was cruising at 32,000 feet, their rear engine spontaneously detonated, the low air compression fan blades then severed all three hydro systems to the tail. What did that mean for the pilots and what forces did they have to control their plane.
what is lossing all flight controls and had to use asymmetrical thrust to control the plane.
What is the name of a surface that controls Pitch and Roll.
What is Elevons?
What Surface does the B-52 not have and what does it use to control this axis instead?
What are ailerons, and spoilers.
When a pilot does the famous Cobra Manuveur what axis is it using?
What is the Pitch axis?
If lift is loss what can you do to gain it back?
What is descending?
A british airlines 747 flew over an island during a volcanic eruption. During this time it was unknown that flying into an ash cloud causes St Elmo's Fire, a lightning arcing effect as ash collides with the skin of the aircraft at high speeds. The ash starved the engines of oxegen, killing all four engines. How many engines do the crew need to get working to safely operate the aircraft?
What is having three operative engines/
What Surface(s) are critical to counter asymmetric-thrust?
What is the Rudder?
What secondary surfaces when moved asymetrically can aid in controlling the roll axis?
What are Spoilers and Horizonal Stabilizers?
During the second mission of Starfox 64, a rabbit keeps telling you to "DO A BARREL ROLL!" What axis(es) are being used in real life?
What is the Pitch and Roll axis
The Landing of the Hudson was a control crash the pilots were force to commit as both engines on their twin engine aircraft were lost. Without their engines what was lost, and what started increasing.
What was thrust that was lost, and drag that started increasing?
A recent DC-10 plane crash from 2025 reminds the aviation community of a previous plane crash where during take off the left engine detached from the wing sending debri into the tail engine. What secondary surfaces were effected by the missing engine?
