The axes of flight are:

Longitudinal (Roll) Axis from tip of nose to

tip of tail – ROLL

Lateral (Pitch) Axis from one wingtip to

other wingtip – PITCH

Vertical (Yaw) Axis vertically through

meeting point of the longitudinal and lateral axes. – YAW

The Axes of Flight

Flight Control Surfaces

Ailerons• Are hinged, horizontal surfaces attached to the

back (trailing edge), outer edges of the wings of the plane.

• Used to turn the plane. (ROLL) – Longitudinal Axis• As one aileron rises, the opposite aileron lowers,

raising one wing and lowering the other, tilting (or banking) the plane toward the lower aileron.

Elevators• Are hinged, horizontal surfaces attached to the

trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. • Control the plane’s movement upward or downward.

(PITCH) – Lateral Axis• When the elevators are raised, the tail is forced

downward, the wings are forced upward, and the plane climbs.

Rudder• A hinged, vertical surface attached to the

trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer (tail of the plane).

• Helps the plane enter and recover from turns by swinging the tail to the left or right. (YAW) – Vertical Axis

Determine whether an airplane rises or falls through the air:• Thrust• Drag• Lift• Gravity (Weight)

Four Forces of Flight

• The force that pushes or pulls a plane forward through the air.

• Propellers, jet engines, tailwinds, and other outside sources – even catapults! – can provide needed thrust.

Thrust

• The force that resists forward motion and acts against thrust.

• Created by friction between the plane and the atmosphere.

• If the force of drag is too great, then a plane will move slower and will lose lift.

Drag

• The force of lift exceeds the plane’s weight, the plane rises.

Lift

• Earth’s gravity pulls the plane downward, giving the plane weight.
