| THE SCIENCE BEHIND FLIGHT - THE TAKEOFF PHASE OF FLIGHT | ||
The main flight controls used by the pilot during the takeoff phase include the rudder, horizontal stabilizer and elevators. Once the aircraft is rolling down the runway (due to the thrust of the engines), the pilot applies inputs to deflect the rudder left or right to keep the aircraft centered on the runway. |
