An airplane can change direction in three ways because it is free in the air. An automobile can change direction to the right or left, and this corresponds to an airplane yawing left or right. The automobile cannot decide to go down or up like an airplane can because it is on solid ground. This down or up change of direction is called pitch. A car also has wheels only on the bottom, and cannot travel on its roof or on one side. An airplane, however, can fly upside down, or on its side just as well as right side up and changing the position of the plane in this way is called roll. A roll is a technique in an airplane where the plane turns upside down then keeps going until it is rightside up again. Roll on an airplane is controlled by the ailerons (the little flaps on the wings).
