VERTICAL AXIS
The longitudinal axis causes the aircraft to ___ .
Roll.
When an aircraft yaws, ____
The nose / aircraft moves left or right.
Primary Control Surfaces

WHAT IS LONGITUDINAL AXIS?
IMAGINARY LINE RUNNING THROUGH THE CENTER OF GRAVITY FROM NOSE TO TAIL ALONH THE FUSELAGE CENTER LINE.
The Yaw is controlled by ____ .

True or false. Flaps influence in the aircraft's movements.
False.
They don't influence but are used to increase coefficient of lift.
A part with a flat or curved surface designed to keep an airplane in the air or control its movements.
Airfoil
