CONTROL SURFACES
This blog is about the basic aerodynamic movements,control surfaces and about my first assignment of flight control system.
AERODYNAMIC MOVEMENTS
YAW
A yaw
rotation is a movement around the yaw axis of a vehicle that changes
the direction the vehicle in facing, to the left or right of its direction of
motion.
PITCH
A pitch
motion is an up or down movement of the nose of the aircraft as shown
in the animation.
ROLL
A roll
motion is an up and down movement of the wings of the aircraft as
shown in the animation.
CONTROL SURFACES
VERTICAL STABILIZER
The
vertical stabilizer consist of two parts.
1) Rudder
2) Fin
RUDDER
Rudder is the movable
part in the vertical stabilizer .It is used to control the yaw motion.
FIN
HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
The horizontal
stabilizer consist of two parts.
1) Elevator
2) Tail plane
ELEVATOR
Elevator is the
movable part in the horizontal stabilizer .It is used to control the pitch
motion.
TAIL PLANE
The tailplane is a
fixed surface and it supports the elevator.
AILERON
Ailerons are hinged flight control surfaces attached to the trailing
edge of
the wing of a fixed-wing aircraft. The ailerons are used to
control the aircraft in roll,
