  1. Aircraft Motion and Control

  2. Aircraft Motion and Control • Each major part of an aircraft plays a critical part in its • Motion: a change in position • Control: an instrument or part that regulates or guides a machine or vehicle

  3. Aircraft Motion and Control

  4. Aircraft Motion and Control • Fuselage: the basic structure of an aircraft to which all other parts are attached • It is a long, hollow tube that holds the pieces of the airplane together, and holds passengers and freight/cargo as well

  5. Aircraft Motion and Control • Fuselages vary in shape to fit the mission • Aircraft rotates around center of gravity inside the fuselage

  6. Aircraft Motion and Control

  7. Aircraft Motion and Control • Wings: the major part of the aircraft responsible for generating lift

  8. Aircraft Motion and Control • Wing position depends on aircraft’s mission • Main internal parts are spars, ribs and stringers • Fuel tanks usually part of wing

  9. Aircraft Motion and Control • Dihedral angles give aircraft roll stability and level flight; the wings are higher that its horizontal • Large commercial airliner wings have dihedral angles • Fighter aircraft have anhedralangles; the wings are lower than its horizontal and have greater roll capability

  10. Aircraft Motion and Control

  11. Aircraft Motion and Control • Ailerons: • Controls the right and left banking movement of that aircraft • Located on the trailing edges of wings

  12. Aircraft Motion and Control • Ailerons: • If the aileron is flipped up on a wing, the lift on the wing is decreased = the wing goes down • If the aileron is deflected down on a wing, the lift on that wing is increased = the wing goes up

  13. Aircraft Motion and Control • Flap is hinged device at wing’s trailing edge that produces more lift & some drag • Spoiler is small, flat plate that attaches the tops of wings; it increases drag • Slat is moveable, hinged parts that pivot down to generate morelift force

  14. Aircraft Motion and Control

  15. Aircraft Motion and Control • Flaps: • Responsible for increasing lift and drag • Used for takeoffs and landings at low speeds

  16. Aircraft Motion and Control

  17. Aircraft Motion and Control • Stabilizers keep aircraft stable so it can maintain a straight flight path • Vertical stabilizer prevents the nose of plane from roving side to size • Horizontal stabilizer keeps plane from bobbing up and down

  18. Aircraft Motion and Control • Empennage: • Tail assembly of the aircraft • Main parts are the elevator and rudder

  19. Aircraft Motion and Control The elevator

  20. Aircraft Motion and Control • Elevator: • Responsible for the up and down movement of the aircraft’s nose and tail • Mounted to the tail section of the plane • Horizontal stabilizer helps control the pitch

  21. Aircraft Motion and Control The rudder Push right rudder pedal and the plane turns right Push left rudder pedal and the plane turns left

  22. Aircraft Motion and Control • Rudder: • Responsible for aircraft’s change of direction to the right and left sides • Vertical stabilizer helps control the yaw

  23. Aircraft Motion and Control

  24. Aircraft Motion and Control • Engines: responsible for the aircraft’s power; generates thrust

  31. Aircraft Motion and Control • Reviewed some key control parts • What are some of the primary motions these parts control?

  32. Aircraft Motion and Control • Aircraft motion • Rolls/banks left and right • Pitches up and down • Yaws side to side

  33. Aircraft Motion and Control • Aircraft motion • Rolls/banks left and right • Pitches up and down • Yaws side to side

  34. Aircraft Motion and Control • Longitudinal/Roll Axis • Runs from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail • Can be thought of as a skewer which rolls/turns either right or left and causes everything attached to it to turn.

  35. Aircraft Motion and Control • Motion: rolls/banks right and left • Control: ailerons

  36. Aircraft Motion and Control • Aileron and wing motion that makes the roll/bank movement • To make a wing move upward, the aileron on that wing must move downward. • To make a wing move downward, the aileron on that wing must move upward • While the one wing is moving up or down the other wing is moving in the opposite direction due to the deflection of its aileron.

  37. Aircraft Motion and Control • Lateral/Pitch Axis • An imaginary rod, running from one wing tip through the fuselage and exiting the other wing tip, forms an airplane’s lateral axis. • Pitches the nose of the aircraft up and down

  38. Aircraft Motion and Control • Motion: pitches the nose up and down • Control: elevator

  39. Aircraft Motion and Control

  40. Aircraft Motion and Control • Elevator and pilot control column/stick controls up and down movement • When the pilot’s control column is pulled backward, the elevator goes up, the nose goes up, the tail goes down • When the pilot’s control column is pushed downward, the elevator goes down, the nose goes down, the tail goes up

  41. Aircraft Motion and Control • Vertical/Yaw Axis • An imaginary rod or axis which passes through the meetingpoint of the longitudinal and lateral axes. • Makes a yaw movement, from side to side

  42. Aircraft Motion and Control • Motion: side to side • Control: rudder

  43. Aircraft Motion and Control

  44. Aircraft Motion and Control • The rudder controls the side to side movement • The rudder moves in the direction of the rudder pedal that is being pressed

  45. Aircraft Motion and Control • Aircraft motion • How aircraft motion is controlled

  46. Aircraft Motion and Control • Aircraft motion • Three axes of rotation • Banks/rolls, pitch, yaw

  47. Aircraft Motion and Control • How aircraft motion is controlled • Aileron • Elevator • Rudder

  48. Aircraft Motion and Control • Aircraft have primary and secondary control systems • Rudders, elevators, and ailerons are primary control surfaces, they control the primary aircraft movements: rolls, pitch, yaw • Flaps, slats, and spoilers are secondary control systems, they let the pilot maintain more control over aircraft’s performance in regards to lift and drag

  49. Aircraft Motion and Control • Review: 1. This axis of rotation allows the plane to go up and down • Roll b. Pitch c. Yaw 2. This axis of rotation allows the plane to move from left to right: • Roll b. Pitch c. Yaw 3. This axis of rotation allows the plane to bank right and left in varying degrees: a. Roll b. Pitch c. Yaw

  50. Aircraft Motion and Control • Review: 4. The pitch axis is controlled by the: • Rudder b. Elevator c. Aileron • The roll axis is controlled by the: • Rudder b. Elevator c. Aileron • The yaw axis is controlled by the: a. Rudder b. Elevator c. Aileon
