Do you have any idea?

What is An AIRCRAFT Axis?

Axis, as applied to aviation, is defined as "an imaginary line about which a body rotates".

The three axes on which the aircraft moves are:

  • Longitudinal
  • Lateral
  • Vertical
They can freely travel Left and Right, Forward and Backward, and Up and Down in this space.

Types of axes in an aircraft

"ROLLING AXIS"

It is a line drawn from the tail to the nose of the vehicle in the normal direction of flight, or the direction the pilot faces, identical to the waterline of a ship.

longitudinal Axis

"PITCH"

An aircraft's main body. The imaginary line that runs from wingtip to wingtip and around which an airplane pitches. Lift is the force produced primarily by the motion of air moving over the wings of an airplane.

Lateral AXis

"YAW"

Aircrafts travels from top to bottom through the center of the plane, passing via the center of gravity. Yaw is the movement around this axis, while directional control is the control around this axis.

vertical Axis

  • Longitudinal Stability
- It is the tendency of an aircraft to return to the trimmed angle of attack
  • Lateral Stability
- It is the tendency of an aircraft to resist roll
  • Directional stability
- It is the tendency to resist yawing- The more surface area behind the CG, the more directional stability

Return

Return

Flaps

It controls motion around the longitudinal axis (roll). The ailerons are located at the rear of the wing, one on each side.

Ailerons

Trim Tabs

Return

It controls rotation around the lateral axis (pitch). It is usually located on the tail of the aircraft and serves.

Elevators

Return

Vertical Stabilizer

It controls movement around the vertical axis (yaw). The rudder is located on the tail of the aircraft.
