Best Answer

Pitch, Roll and Yaw The Axis that is aligned with the fuselage of the airplane is the main X-axis. Rotation about this axis is called Roll. If the nose goes Up or Down this is the Pitch. Rotation about the Vertical axis is Yaw or when the tail goes from side to side.

What do the elavators on an airplane do?

The elevator section of an airplane is located in the aft of the airplane, or on the little wings in the back section of the airplane. The elevators move the airplane on its vertical axis, thereby making the airplane climb or descend.


What is a roll on an airplane?

That is when the aircraft rotates around it's axis.


Inerita is the law of what?

the law of inertia states that:A body will preserve its velocity and direction so long as no force in its motion's direction acts on it.For example : a package thrown out of an airplane will continue to move at the speed of the airplane on the horizontal axis (in the direction of the airplane's movement). Since the law of gravity acts on the package (a vertical downward axis), the package will gather speed along the vertical axis, but on the horizontal axis its speed will remain equal to that of the airplane.


How do the 3 movements work on an airplane?

There are three axes of motion on an aircraft, they are the lateral, longitudinal, and vertical. The lateral axis is from wing tip to wing tip and it is responsible for pitch. The longitudinal axis is from nose to tail and it is responsible for roll. The vertical axis goes straight down from the top to bottom and it is responsible for yaw. The elevator controls pitch along the lateral axis, the rudders control yaw along the vertical axis, and the ailerons control roll along the longitudinal axis.


What are the similarity between the first airplane and modern day airplane?

Well, with all airplanes you have wing warping, which basically controls the wings and the direction the plane is traveling. This means that you can control the airplane around all three axis, which is in the definition of a airplane. All three axis means you can control the airplane in all directions, nose right or nose left, also known as yaw, nose up or nose down, also known as pitch, or wing up or wing down, also known as roll.


What did the wright brothers invent .?

They invented the three axis control so the airplane can keeps it's equilibrium while flying. The very first practical AIRPLANE was invented by Wright brothers. They were inspired by the birds and invented this flying machine which can be used by humans in December,1903.

What is the dihedral on an airplane?

Dihedral is the angle between the mounted position of the wings and the horizontal axis. A dihedral allows better in flight stability.


How does z-axis relate to y-axis and x-axis?

the z axis is at right angles to both the x and the y axis. All 3 axis pass through the origin.


What are elevators on an airplane?

The elevators are the control surfaces on an airplane with allow the pilot to control the airplane on the pitch axis (nose up and nose down) They are typically (although not always) located on the tail of the aircraft and are controlled by pulling the yoke (or stick) back for nose-up or forward for nose down.


How many axis are there and what are they called?
