PREFACE
Training has misinterpreted by most of us as a platform for project performation. Industrial
training in true sense has been included in curriculum to make the student
wellversed with the technical procedure of various industries, the basic criteria for management
of various resources in a company or industry.
The educational institution sole aim by industrial training is to improve the technical knowledge
and to have a hand on experienced to make them realistic in thinking, to understand the
procedure for manufacturing keeping mind the minute detail which will benefit the customer like
no learning is proper without implementation.
Doctors, Lawyers, hotel management student surely hold an upper hand. It’s because right from
the second year of their graduation they are made to face the world and their problems with a
tender mind.
Unlike the pitiable engineers like us who are completely isolated from industry. Therefore there
should be industry institutions made compulsory for every engineering institute.

BASICS OF AIRCRAFT
Aerodynamics
Aerodynamics is derived from two Greek words - aero meaning air + dynamics meaning power.
It is a branch of dynamics concerned with studying the motion of air, particularly when it
interacts with a solid object, such as an airplane wing.
In other words, the science of aerodynamics deals with the motion of air and the forces acting on
bodies moving relative to the air. When we study aerodynamics, we are learning about why and
how an airplane flies. Although aerodynamics is a complex subject, exploring the fundamental
principles which govern flight can be an exciting and rewarding experience. The challenge to
understand what makes an airplane fly begins with learning the four forces of flight.
Four forces of flight
During flight, the four forces acting an the airplane are lift , weight , thrust and drag. Lift is the
upward force created by the effect of airflow as it passes over and under the wing. The airplane
is supported in flight by lift. Weight which opposes lift, is caused by the downward pull of
gravity. Thrust is the forward force which propels the airplane through the air. It varies with the
amount of engine power being used. Opposing thrust is drag, which is a backward or retarding,
force which limits the speed of the airplane. In un-accelerated flight, the four forces are in
equilibrium. Un-accelerated flight means that the airplane is maintaining a constant airspeed and
is neither accelerating nor decelerating.
In straight and-level , un-accelerated flight, lift is equal to the directly opposite weight and thrust
is equal to and directly opposite drag. Notice that the arrows which represent the opposing forces
are equal in length, but all four arrows are not the same length. This indicates that all four forces
are not equal but that the opposing forces are equal to each other.
The arrows which show the forces acting on an airplane are often called vectors. The magnitude
of a vector is indicated by the arrow’s length, while the direction is shown by the arrow’s

orientation. When two or more forces act on an object at the same time, they combine to create a
resultant.
When vertical and horizontal forces are applied, as shown on the left, the resultant acts in a
diagonal direction. As shown on the right, the resultant of two opposing forces, which are equal
in magnitude, is zero.
Lift is the key aerodynamic force. It is the force which opposes weight. In straight-and-level, in-
accelerated flight, when weight and lift are equal, an airplane is in a state of equilibrium. If the
other aerodynamic factors remain constant, the airplane neither gains nor loses altitude.
When an airplane is stationary on the ramp, it is also in equilibrium, but the aerodynamic forces
are not a factor. In calm wind conditions, the atmosphere exerts equal pressure on the upper and
lower surfaces of the wing movement of air about the airplane, particularly the wing, is
necessary before the aerodynamic force of lift becomes effective. Knowledge of some of the
basic principles of motion will help you to understand the force of lift.

PRINCIPLES INVOLVED
Newton’s Laws of Motion
In the 17th century, Sir Isaac Newton, a physicist and
mathematician presented principles of motion which, today; help to
explain in creation of lift by an airfoil. Newton’s three laws of
motion are as follows.
Newton’s first law : A body at rest tends to remain at rest, and a
body in motion tends to remain moving at the same speed and in
the same direction. For example, an airplane at rest on the ramp
will remain at rest unless a force is applied which is strong enough
to overcome the airplane’s inertia.
Newton’s second law: When a body is acted upon by a constant force, its resulting acceleration
is inversely proportional to the mass of the body and is directly proportional to the applied force.
This law may be expressed by the formula: [Force = mass x acceleration (F=ma)]
Newton’s third law : For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This principle
applies whenever two things act upon each other, such as the air and the propeller, or the air and
the wing of an airplane.
Bernoulli’s Principle
Daniel Bernoulli, a Swiss mathematician, expanded on Newton’s idea
and further explored the motion of fluids I his 1783 publication
Hydrodynamics. It was in this text that Bernoulli’s equation, which
describes the basic principle of airflow pressure differential, first
appeared. Bernoulli’s principle, simply stated, says, “as the velocity of
a fluid (air) increases, its internal pressure decreases.’ Bernoulli’s
principle is derived from Newton’s second law of motion which states

the requirement of an in balanced force (in this case, pressure) to produce an acceleration
(velocity change).
One way we can visualize Bernoulli’s principles to imagine air flowing through a tube which is
narrower in the middle than at the ends. This type of device is usually called a venturi.
As the air enters the tube, it is traveling at a known velocity and pressure. When the airflow
enters the narrow portion, the velocity increases and the pressure decreases. Then, as the wider
portion, both the velocity and pressure return to their original values. Throughout this process,
the total energy of the air stream is conserved. An increase in velocity (kinetic energy) is
accompanied by a decrease in static pressure (potential energy).

HOW LIFT IS GENERATED?
Lift is generated when an object changes the direction of flow of a fluid or when the fluid is
forced to move by the object passing through it. When the object and fluid move relative to each
other and the object turns the fluid flow in a direction perpendicular to that flow, the force
required to do this work creates an equal and opposite force that is lift.
The object may be moving through a stationary fluid, or the fluid may be flowing past a
stationary object—these two are effectively identical as, in principle, it is only the frame of
reference of the viewer which differs. The lift generated by an airfoil depends on such factors as:
 Speed of the airflow
 Density of the air
 Total area of the segment or airfoil
 Angle of attack (AOA) between the air and the airfoil
The AOA is the angle at which the airfoil meets the oncoming airflow (or vice versa). In the case
of a helicopter, the object is the rotor blade (airfoil) and the fluid is the air. Lift is produced when
a mass of air is deflected, and it always acts perpendicular to the resultant relative wind. A
symmetric airfoil must have a positive AOA to generate positive lift. At a zero AOA, no lift is
generated. At a negative AOA, negative lift is generated. A cambered or nonsymmetrical airfoil
may produce positive lift at zero, or even small negative AOA.
The basic concept of lift is simple. However, the details of how the relative movement of air and
airfoil interact to produce the turning action that generates lift are complex. In any case causing
lift, an angled flat plate, revolving cylinder, airfoil, etc., the flow meeting the leading edge of the
object is forced to split over and under the object. The sudden change in direction over the object
causes an area of low pressure to form behind the leading edge on the upper surface of the
object. In turn, due to this pressure gradient and the viscosity of the fluid, the flow over the
object is accelerated down along the upper surface of the object. At the same time, the flow
forced under the object is rapidly slowed or stagnated causing an area of high pressure. This also
causes the flow to accelerate along the upper surface of the object. The two sections of the fluid
each leave the trailing edge of the object with a downward component of momentum, producing
lift.

Concept of Aerofoil
Aircrafts are able to fly due to aerodynamic forces produced when air passes around the airfoil.
An airfoil is any surface producing more lift than drag when passing through the air at a suitable
angle. Airfoils are most often associated with production of lift. Airfoils are also used for
stability (fin), control (elevator), and thrust or propulsion (propeller or rotor). Certain airfoils,
such as rotor blades, combine some of these functions. The main and tail rotor blades of the
helicopter are airfoils, and air is forced to pass around the blades by mechanically powered
rotation. In some conditions, parts of the fuselage, such as the vertical and horizontal stabilizers,
can become airfoils. Airfoils are carefully structured to accommodate a specific set of flight
characteristics.
Airfoil Terminology and Definitions
 Blade span—the length of the rotor blade from center of rotation to tip of the blade.
 Chord line—a straight line intersecting leading and trailing edges of the airfoil.
 Chord—the length of the chord line from leading edge to trailing edge; it is the characteristic
longitudinal dimension of the airfoil section.
 Mean camber line—a line drawn halfway between the upper and lower surfaces of the airfoil.
The chord line connects the ends of the mean camber line. Camber refers to curvature of the
airfoil and may be considered curvature of the mean camber line. The shape of the mean camber
is important for determining aerodynamic characteristics of an airfoil section.
Maximum camber (displacement of the mean camber line from the chord line) and its location
help to define the shape of the mean camber line. The location of maximum camber and its
displacement from the chord line are expressed as fractions or percentages of the basic chord
length. By varying the point of maximum camber, the manufacturer can tailor an airfoil for a
specific purpose. The profile thickness and thickness distribution are important properties of an
airfoil section.
 Leading edge—the front edge of an airfoil.
 Flightpath velocity—the speed and direction of the airfoil passing through the air. For airfoils
on an airplane, the flightpath velocity is equal to true airspeed (TAS). For helicopter rotor
blades, flightpath velocity is equal to rotational velocity, plus or minus a component of

directional airspeed. The rotational velocity of the rotor blade is lowest closer to the hub and
increases outward towards the tip of the blade during rotation.
 Relative wind—defined as the airflow relative to an airfoil and is created by movement of an
airfoil through the air. This is rotational relative wind for rotary-wing aircraft and is covered
in detail later. As an induced airflow may modify flightpath velocity, relative wind
experienced by the airfoil may not be exactly opposite its direction of travel.
 Trailing edge—the rearmost edge of an airfoil.
 Induced flow—the downward flow of air through the rotor disk.
 Resultant relative wind—relative wind modified by induced flow.
 Angle of attack (AOA)—the angle measured between the resultant relative wind and chord
line.
 Angle of incidence (AOI)—the angle between the chord line of a blade and rotor hub. It is
usually referred to as blade pitch angle. For fixed airfoils, such as vertical fins or elevators,
angle of incidence is the angle between the chord line of the airfoil and a selected reference
plane of the helicopter.
 Center of pressure—the point along the chord line of an airfoil through which all
aerodynamic forces are considered to act. Since pressures vary on the surface of an airfoil, an
average location of pressure variation is needed. As the AOA changes, these pressures
change and center of pressure moves along the chord line.

AXES OF ROTATION IN AN AIRCRAFT
An aircraft in flight is free to rotate in three dimensions: pitch, nose up or down about an axis
running from wing to wing, yaw, nose left or right about an axis running up and down; and roll,
rotation about an axis running from nose to tail. The axes are alternatively designated
as lateral, vertical, and longitudinal. These axes move with the vehicle, and rotate relative to the
Earth along with the craft. These rotations are produced by torques (or moments) about the
principal axes. On an aircraft, these are produced by means of moving control surfaces, which
vary the distribution of the net aerodynamic force about the vehicle's center of gravity. Elevators
(moving flaps on the horizontal tail) produce pitch, a rudder on the vertical tail produces yaw,
and ailerons (flaps on the wings which move in opposing directions) produce roll.
Principal axes
 Vertical axis, or yaw axis — an axis drawn from top to bottom, and perpendicular to the
other two axes. Parallel to the fuselage station.
 Lateral axis, transverse axis, or pitch axis — an axis running from the pilot's left to right in
piloted aircraft, and parallel to the wings of a winged aircraft. Parallel to the buttock line.
 Longitudinal axis, or roll axis — an axis drawn through the body of the vehicle from tail to
nose in the normal direction of flight, or the direction the pilot faces.
Vertical axis (yaw)
Yaw axis is a vertical axis through an aircraft, rocket, or similar body, about which the
body yaws; it may be a body, wind, or stability axis. Also known as yawing axis.
The yaw axis is defined to be perpendicular to the body of the wings with its origin at the center
of gravity and directed towards the bottom of the aircraft. A yaw motion is a movement of the
nose of the aircraft from side to side. The pitch axis is perpendicular to the yaw axis and is
parallel to the body of the wings with its origin at the center of gravity and directed towards the
right wing tip. A pitch motion is an up or down movement of the nose of the aircraft. The roll

axis is perpendicular to the other two axes with its origin at the center of gravity, and is directed
towards the nose of the aircraft. A rolling motion is an up and down movement of the wing
tips of the aircraft. The rudder is the primary control of yaw.
Lateral axis (pitch)
The lateral axis (also called transverse axis) passes through the plane from wingtip to wingtips.
Rotation about this axis is called pitch. Pitch changes the vertical direction the aircraft's nose is
pointing. The elevators are the primary control of pitch.
Longitudinal axis (roll)
The longitudinal axis passes through the plane from nose to tail. Rotation about this axis is
called bank or roll. Bank changes the orientation of the aircraft's wings with respect to the
downward force of gravity. The pilot changes bank angle by increasing the lift on one wing and
decreasing it on the other. This differential lift causes bank rotation around the longitudinal axis.
The ailerons are the primary control of bank. The rudder also has a secondary effect on bank.

STRUCTURE OF AN AIRCRAFT

MAJOR COMPONENTS OF AIRCRAFT
Components and their functions

1. Fuselage
The fuselage, or body of the airplane, is a long hollow tube which holds all the pieces of an
airplane together. The fuselage is hollow to reduce weight. As with most other parts of the
airplane, the shape of the fuselage is normally determined by the mission of the aircraft.
A supersonic fighter plane has a very slender, streamlined fuselage to reduce the drag associated
with high speed flight. An airliner has a wider fuselage to carry the maximum number of
passengers. On an airliner, the pilots sit in a cockpit at the front of the fuselage. Passengers and
cargo are carried in the rear of the fuselage and the fuel is usually stored in the wings. For a
fighter plane, the cockpit is normally on top of the fuselage, weapons are carried on the wings,
and the engines and fuel are placed at the rear of the fuselage.
The weight of an aircraft is distributed all along the aircraft. The fuselage, along with the
passengers and cargo, contribute a significant portion of the weight of an aircraft. The center of
gravity of the aircraft is the average location of the weight and it is usually located inside the
fuselage. In flight, the aircraft rotates around the center of gravity because of torques generated
by the elevator, rudder, and ailerons. The fuselage must be designed with enough strength to
withstand these torques.
2. Wings
Wings develop the major portion of the lift of a heavier-than-air aircraft. Wing structures carry
some of the heavier loads found in the aircraft structure. The particular design of a wing depends
on many factors, such as the size, weight, speed, rate of climb, and use of the aircraft. The wing
must be constructed so that it holds its aerodynamics shape under the extreme stresses of combat
maneuvers or wing loading. Wing construction is similar in most modern aircraft. In its simplest
form, the wing is a framework made up of spars and ribs and covered with metal.
Spars are the main structural members of the wing. They extend from the fuselage to the tip of
the wing. All the load carried by the wing is taken up by the spars. The spars are designed to
have great bending strength. Ribs give the wing section its shape, and they transmit the air load
from the wing covering to the spars. Ribs extend from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the

wing. In addition to the main spars, some wings have a false spar to support the ailerons and
flaps. Most aircraft wings have a removable tip, which streamlines the outer end of the wing.
Most Navy aircraft are designed with a wing referred to as a wet wing. This term describes the
wing that is constructed so it can be used as a fuel cell. The wet wing is sealed with a fuel-
resistant compound as it is built. The wing holds fuel without the usual rubber cells or tanks. The
wings of most naval aircraft are of all metal, full cantilever construction. Often, they may be
folded for carrier use. A full cantilever wing structure is very strong. The wing can be fastened to
the fuselage without the use of external bracing, such as wires or struts.
A complete wing assembly consists of the surface providing lift for the support of the aircraft. It
also provides the necessary flight control surfaces.
Note: The flight control surfaces on a simple wing may include only ailerons and trailing edge
flaps. The more complex aircraft may have a variety of devices, such as leading edge flaps, slats,
spoilers, and speed brakes.
Various points on the wing are located by wing station numbers (fig. 4-7). Wing station (WS) 0
is located at the centerline of the fuselage, and all wing stations are measured (right or left) from
this point (in inches).
3. Empennage
The empennage is also known as the tail or tail assembly, of most aircraft, gives stability to the
aircraft, in a similar way to the feathers on an arrow; Most aircraft feature an empennage
incorporating vertical and horizontal stabilising surfaces which stabilise the flight
dynamics of yaw and pitch, as well as housing control surfaces.
In spite of effective control surfaces, many early aircraft that lacked a stabilising empennage
were virtually unflyable. Even so-called "tailless aircraft" usually have a tail fin (vertical
stabiliser). Heavier than air aircraft without any kind of empennage are rare.

 Stabilizers
The stabilizing surfaces of an aircraft consist of vertical and horizontal airfoils. They are called
the vertical stabilizer (or fin) and horizontal stabilizer. These two airfoils, along with the rudder
and elevators, form the tail section. For inspection and maintenance purposes, the entire tail
section is considered a single unit called the empennage.
The main purpose of stabilizers is to keep the aircraft in straight-and-level flight. The vertical
stabilizer maintains the stability of he aircraft about its vertical axis (fig. 4-9). This is known as
directional stability. The vertical stabilizer usually serves as the base to which the rudder is
attached. The horizontal stabilizer provides stability of the aircraft about its lateral axis. This is
known as longitudinal stability. The horizontal stabilizer usually serves as the base to which the
elevators are attached. On many newer, high-performance aircraft, the entire vertical and/or
horizontal stabilizer is a movable airfoil. Without the movable airfoil, the flight control surfaces
would lose their effectiveness at extremely high altitudes.
Stabilizer construction is similar to wing construction. For greater strength, especially in the
thinner airfoil sections typical of trailing edges, a honeycomb-type construction is used. Some
larger carrier-type aircraft have vertical stabilizers that are folded hydraulically to aid aircraft
movement aboard aircraft carriers.
 Trim devices
In some aircraft trim devices are provided to eliminate the need for the pilot to maintain constant
pressure on the elevator or rudder controls.
The trim device may be:
 a trim tab on the rear of the elevators or rudder which act to change the aerodynamic load
on the surface. Usually controlled by a cockpit wheel or crank.

 an adjustable stabiliser into which the stabiliser may be hinged at its spar and adjustably
jacked a few degrees in incidence either up or down. Usually controlled by a cockpit
crank.
 a bungee trim system which uses a spring to provide an adjustable preload in the controls.
Usually controlled by a cockpit lever.
 an anti-servo tab used to trim some elevators and stabilators as well as increased control
force feel. Usually controlled by a cockpit wheel or crank.
 a servo tab used to move the main control surface, as well as act as a trim tab. Usually
controlled by a cockpit wheel or crank.
Multi-engined aircraft often have trim tabs on the rudder to reduce the pilot effort required to
keep the aircraft straight in situations of asymmetrical thrust, such as single engine operations.
4. Powerplant
An aircraft engine is the component of the propulsion system for an aircraft that generates
mechanical power. Aircraft engines are almost always either lightweight piston engines or gas
turbines.
 Reciprocating engines
Most small airplanes are designed with reciprocating engines. The name is derived from the
back-and-forth, or reciprocating, movement of the pistons. It is this motion that produces the
mechanical energy needed to accomplish work. Two common means of classifying reciprocating
engines are:
1. by cylinder arrangement with respect to the crankshaft—radial, in-line, v-type or
opposed, or
2. by the method of cooling—liquid or air-cooled.

Radial engines were widely used during World War II, and many are still in service today. With
these engines, a row or rows of cylinders are arranged in a circular pattern around the crankcase.
The main advantage of a radial engine is the favorable power-to-weight ratio.
In-line engines have a comparatively small frontal area, but their power-to-weight ratios are
relatively low. In addition, the rearmost cylinders of an air-cooled, in-line engine receive very
little cooling air, so these engines are normally limited to four or six cylinders.
V-type engines provide more horsepower than in-line engines and still retain a small frontal area.
Further improvements in engine design led to the development of the horizontally-opposed
engine.
Opposed-type engines are the most popular reciprocating engines used on small airplanes. These
engines always have an even number of cylinders, since a cylinder on one side of the crankcase
“opposes” a cylinder on the other side. The majority of these engines are air cooled and usually
are mounted in a horizontal position when installed on fixed-wing airplanes. Opposed-type
engines have high power-to-weight ratios because they have a comparatively small, lightweight
crankcase. In addition, the compact cylinder arrangement reduces the engine´s frontal area and
allows a streamlined installation that minimizes aerodynamic drag.
 Turboprop
While military fighters require very high speeds, many civil airplanes do not. Yet, civil aircraft
designers wanted to benefit from the high power and low maintenance that a gas turbine engine
offered. Thus was born the idea to mate a turbine engine to a
traditional propeller. Because gas turbines optimally spin at
high speed, a turboprop features a gearbox to lower the
speed of the shaft so that the propeller tips don't reach
supersonic speeds. Often the turbines that drive the propeller
are

separate from the rest of the rotating components so that they can rotate at their own best speed
(referred to as a free-turbine engine). A turboprop is very efficient when operated within the
realm of cruise speeds it was designed for, which is typically 200 to 400 mph (320 to 640 km/h).
 Turboshaft
Turboshaft engines are used primarily for helicopters and auxiliary power units. A turboshaft
engine is similar in principle, but in a turboprop the
propeller is supported by the engine and the engine is bolted
to the airframe: in a turboshaft, the engine does not provide
any direct physical support to the helicopter's rotors. The
rotor is connected to a transmission which is bolted to the
airframe, and the turboshaft engine drives the transmission.
The distinction is seen by some as slim, as in some cases aircraft companies make both
turboprop and turboshaft engines based on the same design.
 Turbojet
A turbojet is a type of gas turbine engine that was originally developed for
military fighters during World War II. A turbojet is the simplest of all aircraft gas turbines. It
consists of a compressor to draw air in and compress it, a combustion section where fuel is added
and ignited, one or more turbines that extract power from the expanding exhaust gases to drive
the compressor, and an exhaust nozzle that accelerates the
exhaust gases out the back of the engine to create thrust.
When turbojets were introduced, the top speed of fighter
aircraft equipped with them was at least 100 miles per hour
faster than competing piston-driven aircraft. In the years
after the war, the drawbacks of the turbojet gradually
became apparent. Below about Mach 2, turbojets are very fuel inefficient and create tremendous
amounts of noise. Early designs also respond very slowly to power changes, a fact that killed
many experienced pilots when they attempted the transition to jets. These drawbacks eventually

led to the downfall of the pure turbojet, and only a handful of types are still in production. The
last airliner that used turbojets was the Concorde, whose Mach 2 airspeed permitted the engine to
be highly efficient.
 Turbofan
A turbofan engine is much the same as a turbojet, but with an enlarged fan at the front that
provides thrust in much the same way as a ducted propeller, resulting in improved fuel-
efficiency. Though the fan creates thrust like a propeller, the
surrounding duct frees it from many of the restrictions that
limit propeller performance. This operation is a more
efficient way to provide thrust than simply using the jet
nozzle alone and turbofans are more efficient than propellers
in the trans-sonic range of aircraft speeds, and can operate in
the supersonic realm. A turbofan typically has extra turbine
stages to turn the fan. Turbofans were among the first engines to use multiple spools—concentric
shafts that are free to rotate at their own speed—to let the engine react more quickly to changing
power requirements. Turbofans are coarsely split into low-bypass and high-bypass categories.
Bypass air flows through the fan, but around the jet core, not mixing with fuel and burning. The
ratio of this air to the amount of air flowing through the engine core is the bypass ratio. Low-
bypass engines are preferred for military applications such as fighters due to high thrust-to-
weight ratio, while high-bypass engines are preferred for civil use for good fuel efficiency and
low noise. High-bypass turbofans are usually most efficient when the aircraft is traveling at 500
to 550 miles per hour (800 to 885 km/h), the cruise speed of most large airliners. Low-bypass
turbofans can reach supersonic speeds, though normally only when fitted with afterburners.
Landing Gears
Landing gear is the undercarriage of an aircraft or spacecraft and is often referred to as such.
For aircraft, the landing gear supports the craft when it is not flying, allowing it to take
off, land and usually to taxi without damage. Wheels are typically used but skids, skis, floats or a

combination of these and other elements can be deployed depending both on the surface and on
whether the craft only operates vertically (VTOL) or is able to taxi along the surface. Faster
aircraft usually have retractable undercarriage, which folds away during flight to reduce air
resistance or drag.
For launch vehicles and spacecraft landers, the landing gear is typically designed to support the
vehicle only post-flight, and are not used for takeoff or surface movement.
Aircraft Flight Controls
 Primary controls
Generally, the primary cockpit flight controls are arranged as follows:
 a control yoke (also known as a control column), centre stick or side-stick (the latter two
also colloquially known as a control or joystick), governs the aircraft's roll and pitch by
moving the ailerons (or activating wing warping on some very early aircraft designs)
when turned or deflected left and right, and moves the elevators when moved backwards
or forwards
 rudder pedals, or the earlier, pre-1919 "rudder bar", to control yaw, which move
the rudder; left foot forward will move the rudder left for instance.
 throttle controls to control engine speed or thrust for powered aircraft.
The control yokes also vary greatly amongst aircraft. There are yokes where roll is controlled by
rotating the yoke clockwise/counterclockwise (like steering a car) and pitch is controlled by
tilting the control column towards you or away from you, but in others the pitch is controlled by
sliding the yoke into and out of the instrument panel (like most Cessnas, such as the 152 and
172), and in some the roll is controlled by sliding the whole yoke to the left and right (like the
Cessna 162).
Centre sticks also vary between aircraft. Some are directly connected to the control surfaces
using cables, others (fly-by-wire airplanes) have a computer in between which then controls the
electrical actuators.

Even when an aircraft uses variant flight control surfaces such as a V-tail ruddervator, flaperons,
or elevons, to avoid pilot confusion the aircraft's flight control system will still be designed so
that the stick or yoke controls pitch and roll conventionally, as will the rudder pedals for
yaw.The basic pattern for modern flight controls was pioneered by French aviation figure Robert
Esnault-Pelterie, with fellow French aviator Louis Blériot popularizing Esnault-Pelterie's control
format initially on Louis' Blériot VIII monoplane in April 1908, and standardizing the format on
the July 1909 Channel-crossing Blériot XI. Flight control has long been taught in such fashion
for many decades, as popularized in ab initio instructional books such as the 1944 work Stick
and Rudder.
In some aircraft, the control surfaces are not manipulated with a linkage. In ultralight aircraft and
motorized hang gliders, for example, there is no mechanism at all. Instead, the pilot just grabs the
lifting surface by hand (using a rigid frame that hangs from its underside) and moves it.
 Secondarycontrols
In addition to the primary flight controls for roll, pitch, and yaw, there are often secondary
controls available to give the pilot finer control over flight or to ease the workload. The most
commonly available control is a wheel or other device to control elevator trim, so that the pilot
does not have to maintain constant backward or forward pressure to hold a specific
pitch attitude (other types of trim, for rudder and ailerons, are common on larger aircraft but may
also appear on smaller ones). Many aircraft have wing flaps, controlled by a switch or a
mechanical lever or in some cases are fully automatic by computer control, which alter the shape
of the wing for improved control at the slower speeds used for takeoff and landing. Other
secondary flight control systems may be available, including slats, spoilers, air
brakes and variable-sweep wings.
