What Do Elevator, Rudder, Spoilers Do?
What Does Elevator Do?
Elevators allow the aircraft to move up and down. It kind of makes him do a pitching move. The location of elevators in the aircraft is the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. When the elevators move upwards, the nose of the aircraft moves up, along with the air hitting the surfaces, while the tail part moves downwards. When the elevators move down, the nose of the aircraft moves down and the tail moves up.
What Does Rudder Do?
The rudder is the movable upright part on the tail of the aircraft. Allows the nose of the aircraft to turn left or right. The name of this movement is the deviation (yaw) movement. It is controlled by rudder pedals in the cockpit. The right pedal allows the nose of the aircraft to turn to the right and the left pedal to the left.
What Does Spoiler Do?
It is a control surface that serves to reduce the lift force (lift) acting on aircraft. It is usually placed on the wing and opens on the vertical axis. It’ll disrupt the airflow. Increases the friction force when the Spoiler is turned on. It is also used on the runway when landing and after landing. It also allows aircraft to descend without gaining speed.
