Flight controls

Flight controls

1. Primary surfaces

   • Ailerons
     • They are movable surfaces, located in the rear part of the end of each wing, whose actuation causes the movement of warping of the airplane on its longitudinal axis.
   • Elevators
     • When pulling the control wheel, this surface goes up while pushing it down - in some planes the entire horizontal empennage moves.
   • Rudder
     • Its movement causes the yaw movement of the plane on its vertical axis

2. Secondary surfaces

   • Flaps
     • Its function is to increase the lift of the aircraft when it is flying at speeds lower than those for which the wing has been designed.
   • Slats
     • They are hypersusceptive surfaces that act in a similar way to the flaps.
   • Spoilers
     • Unlike the flaps and slats, the objective of this surface is to decrease the aircraft's lift.
