Study Notes
Aircraft Control and Wing Characteristics
- Elevators of a conventional airplane provide rotation about the pitch axis.
- An airplane is controlled directionally about its vertical axis using the rudder.
- When the control stick of an aircraft is moved rearward and to the left, the right aileron moves upward.
- The chord of a wing is measured from the leading edge to the trailing edge.
- The purpose of the vertical fin on an aircraft is to provide directional stability.
