It is an airplane's airfoil,it has two movable controls the ailerons and flaps.Rate this question:
-
- 12.
The pilot moves the stick to one side, which raises one aileron while lowering the other. One wing goes up and the other goes down, causing the aircraft to roll. Which is called____?
Correct Answer
rolling - 13.
The pilot pulls the stick back or pushes the stick forward, which raises or lowers the elevators on the tail. The elevators deflect the airflow, causing the tail to drop or rise. The nose rises or drops and the aircraft climbs. Which is called____?
Correct Answer
climbing
diving
pitch - 14.
Pressing down on the pedals turns the rudder. Moving the stick from side to side raises or lowers the ailerons. The rudder turns the aircraft, and one aileron goes up while the other goes down, banking the aircraft as it turns. Note that this animation only shows the yaw movement and not the banking. Which is called____?
Correct Answer
turning
yaw
