Ask an Explainer
Q:
What are elevators and what do they do?
A:
An elevator is one of the control surfaces of an airplane. On modern airplanes it is typically located in the back of the plane as flaps attached to the horizontal stabilizer. Elevators move up and down to control pitch. Pitch is the tilting of the plane up and down.
