How do pilots control a aeroplane?

Question

ABOUT STEERING TECHNOLOGY

Answer 1

This is a very large topic, and there is really no way to answer it very well in this little space.  Try an internet search on "basics of flight," or "aircraft controls."

Good luck!

Answer 2

they have been well trained and paid.

Answer 3

With our minds... Duh

Answer 4

wires, screws and things

Answer 6

An airplane has three axes of freedom namely yaw, roll and pitch. The control you are referring to is the ability to turn the aircraft along any of these axes as desired. You steer the aircraft by controlling yaw, roll and pitch in the desired combination. Yaw is controlled by the rudders, pitch by the elevators and roll by the ailerons. As for the human interface, rudder is usually controlled by foot pedals, yaw and pich are usually mapped to suitable joystick displacements.

Answer 7

Well they have auto Pilots and the plane has enough controls for thrust etc !

Moveable surfaces on an airplane's wings and tail allow a pilot to maneuver an airplane and control its attitude, or orientation. These control surfaces work on the same principle as lift on a wing. They create a difference in air pressure to produce a force on the airplane in a desired direction.

The main purpose of the tail is to provide stability. If tilted by a gust of wind, a stable airplane tends to recover, just as a ball lying at the bottom of a bowl will roll back to the center after being disturbed.

Answer 8

In flight, steering is more commonly referred to as turning, or banking.    The 'steering wheel' (yoke) is turned left or right, causing the ailerons (on the wing) to move up and/or down.  This redirects the airflow, and force, of the oncoming air, causing the wing to drop and/or rise.   This initiates the turn.    The rising wing actually is movingi faster through the air now, and creates more drag, and it gets 'pushed' backwards, just a little bit, and the nose of the plane sort of gets pushed in the direction opposite of the turn.  This is called adverse yaw.  The pilot uses the pedals on the floor,  to readjust the direction of the aircraft about the vertical axis, (by moving the rudder on the vertical stabilizer of the empeanage, (tail section) correcting for the 'adverse yaw'.   This is more of a nutshell answer, so I hope it didn't get too confusing.   Happy Trails!
