Q14 aierons or rudders or elevators or horizontal stabilizer or pilot or airstream and/or lastly air traffic control


Real planes have segments called ailerons inserted in the wings and segments called rudders and elevators inserted respectively in the vertical fin and horizontal stabilizer. The pilot controls their position from the airplane cockpit. When the pilot moves them into the airstream, they cause the plane to react to air pressure.The pilot uses them to go right or left and also up and down.

all of the above incorrect...............i'll give the answer and facts to this Q.

Aircraft control and movement
There are three primary ways for an aircraft to change its orientation relative to the passing air. Pitch (movement of the nose up or down), Roll (rotation around the longitudinal axis, that is, the axis which runs along the length of the aircraft) and Yaw (movement of the nose to left or right.)
