The X, Y, and Z axes are number lines
that are oriented as you see here.
Placing the axis in this manner the
user can locate points in space

We have examined moments causing rotation about a point or axis and moments that do not cause rotation but do affect static equilibrium. Finally, we will briefly discuss how moments affect an object that is not constrained in any way—specifically how moments act on an airplane.
Aircraft have several features called control surfaces, which are movable flaps located on the wings and tail. These surfaces have the job of controlling moments caused by the force of air on the wings and tail of the airplane. By controlling the moments of these forces, pilots can steer and maneuver aircraft in all directions. The motion caused by these moments—the roll, pitch, and yaw—rotates around three mutually perpendicular axes that meet at the center of gravity. As you can imagine, the interplay of all of the forces and moments is quite complex and is a field of study in itself.
