The 13 pages that link to Flight control surfaces, each with the reason it gives.

• Fly-by-wireNarrower topic: These surfaces are the physical outputs that fly-by-wire commands ultimately move.

• Fixed-wing aircraftBroader topic: Ailerons, elevators, and rudders steer the aircraft by changing airflow forces.

• Control volumeBroader topic: Mass and energy cross this boundary in the control-volume balances.

• Flight simulatorRelated: Their aerodynamic effects are reproduced when simulated control inputs alter aircraft motion.

• AircraftBroader topic: Ailerons, elevators, and rudders steer aircraft by changing airflow forces.

• Jet aircraftRelated: Elevators, ailerons, and rudders let pilots control a jet aircraft's attitude.

• AirplaneBroader topic: Ailerons, elevators, and rudders let pilots control an airplane’s motion.

• RudderNarrower topic: The rudder is one member of this broader family of aerodynamic controls.

• Aircraft flight control systemBroader topic: Deflecting these surfaces creates the moments that alter aircraft attitude.

• Thrust vectoringCompared with: Control surfaces steer through airflow, while thrust vectoring steers through engine force.

• EmpennageNarrower topic: The elevator and rudder are tail-mounted members of this broader control system.

• Model aircraftBroader topic: Elevators, rudders, and ailerons steer many powered and gliding models.

• Cessna 172Narrower topic: The 172 uses these surfaces to respond to the pilot’s control inputs.
