  2. 2. Where the pilot controls the pane.
  3. 3. The shaped surfaces on the plane that allow the aircraft to fly.
  4. 7. Changing the attitude of an aircraft.
  5. 8. Fixed verticle wing at the back of a plane that controls yaw.
  6. 10. The orientation of an aircraft in relation to yaw, pitch and roll.
  7. 11. The movement of fluid along a set path.
  8. 16. Air resistance
  9. 18. The back moveable surface that affects the yaw of an aircraft.
  10. 21. The upward force exerted to the wings of an aircraft.
