  1. Boy ScoutsAviation Merit Badge Control Surfaces

  2. Primary Control Surfaces Rudder Ailerons Elevator

  3. Aileron The ailerons are located near the rear end of the wing tip

  4. Aileron controls the roll of the plane Longitudinal axis

  5. Elevators The Elevators are located on the horizontal stabilizer of the tail

  6. Elevators controls the pitch of the plane Lateral axis

  7. Rudder The rudder is located on the vertical stabilizer of the tail

  8. Rudder controls the yaw of the plane Vertical axis

  9. Control Surfaces • Aileron – controls the roll of the plane • Elevator – controls the pitch, or the up and down, movement of the plane • Rudder – controls the yaw, or side to side, movement of the plane

  10. How the Control SurfacesWork Together for Flight • Take off down the runway • Aileron - level • Elevator – neutral • Rudder – neutral

  11. Control Surfaces • Straight Climb • Aileron - level • Elevator - up • Rudder – neutral

  12. Control Surfaces • Level Left Turn • Aileron – left up, right down • Elevator – neutral • Rudder – left rudder

  13. Control Surfaces • Climbing left turn • Aileron – left up, right down • Elevator – up • Rudder – left rudder

  14. Control Surfaces • Straight descent • Aileron - level • Elevator - down • Rudder – neutral

  15. Control Surfaces • Landing • Aileron - level • Elevator - down • Rudder – neutral
