Airplane Control Surfaces and Functions

The video tutorial provides an overview of the main parts of an airplane, including the turbine engine or propeller, fuselage, wings, flaps, ailerons, elevators, horizontal and vertical stabilizers, rudder, and cockpit. It explains the functions of these components, such as how the elevators control pitch, ailerons control roll, and the rudder controls yaw. The tutorial aims to familiarize viewers with the basic structure and control mechanisms of an aircraft.

What is located at the very front of an airplane and can either be a turbine engine or a propeller?

• Wing

• Turbine engine or propeller

• Cockpit

• Fuselage

What is the primary function of the fuselage in an airplane?

• To hold cargo and passengers

• To provide lift

• To control the direction

• To house the engines

Which part of the airplane is essential for flight and is located on either side of the fuselage?

• Rudder

• Elevator

• Wings

• Cockpit

What is the function of the flaps on an airplane?

• To control the pitch

• To stabilize the plane

• To increase lift during takeoff and landing

• To house the landing gear

Where are the ailerons located on an airplane?

• On the vertical stabilizer

• On the fuselage

• On the wings

• In the cockpit

What is the role of the elevator in an airplane?

• To control the roll

• To control the pitch

• To control the yaw

• To provide thrust

Which part of the airplane helps in controlling the yaw?

• Ailerons

• Elevator

• Rudder

• Flaps

What is the function of the horizontal stabilizer?

• To control the roll

• To provide lift

• To house the engines

• To stabilize the pitch

How is the roll of an airplane controlled?

• By the rudder

• By the flaps

• By the elevator

• By the ailerons

What movement is controlled by the rudder on an airplane?

• Lift
