Elevators Are hinged, horizontal surfaces attached to the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. Control the plane’s movement upward or downward. (PITCH) – Lateral Axis When the elevators are raised, the tail is forced downward, the wings are forced upward, and the plane climbs.

Thrust The force that pushes or pulls a plane forward through the air. Propellers, jet engines, tailwinds, and other outside sources – even catapults! – can provide needed thrust.
Drag The force that resists forward motion and acts against thrust. Created by friction between the plane and the atmosphere. If the force of drag is too great, then a plane will move slower and will lose lift.
Lift The force of lift exceeds the plane’s weight, the plane rises.
Gravity / Weight Earth’s gravity pulls the plane downward, giving the plane weight.
