    Aircraft Primary and Secondary Flight Controls

    Uploaded by

    Jestin Romo
    Primary flight controls include the ailerons, elevator, and rudder. They control the roll, pitch, and yaw of the aircraft during flight. Secondary flight controls help improve aircraft performance and include flaps, slats, spoilers, and trim systems. Flaps extend from the trailing edge of the wing to increase lift during takeoff and landing. Slats extend from the leading edge of the wing to increase lift at low speeds. Spoilers decrease lift, and can also act as air brakes during flight or landing.

    AIRCRAFT PRIMARY AND

    SECONDARY
    FLIGHT CONTROLS

    BSAEE 2-10
    PRESENTED BY : CASTRO, MICHAEL ANGELO B.
    VIRAY, MARTIN GABRIEL A.
    Aircraft is controlled
    during takeoff, flight,
    and landing. They are
    usually divided into two
    WHAT ARE major groups :
    primary or main flight
    PRIMARY AND control surfaces and
    secondary or auxiliary
    SECONDARY control surfaces.
    FLIGHT

    AN AIRCRAFT ?
    DIRECTIONAL CONTROLS

    FLIGHT CONTROL

    CREATE MOVEMENT
    ABOUT THESE AXES.
    DIRECTIONAL CONTROLS

    PITCH
    DIRECTIONAL CONTROLS

    YAW
    PRIMARY FLIGHT CONTROLS
    AILERONS

    MOVABLE FLAPS ON THE


    WINGS OF ANAIRPLANE
    THAT ARE USED TO CONTROL
    THE PLANE'S SIDE-TO-SIDE
    MOVEMENTS
    RUDDER
    THE RUDDER IS A PRIMARY
    FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACE
    WHICH CONTROLS ROTATION
    ABOUT THE VERTICAL AXIS
    OF AN AIRCRAFT. THIS
    MOVEMENT IS REFERRED TO
    AS "YAW". THE RUDDER IS A
    MOVABLE SURFACE THAT IS
    MOUNTED ON THE TRAILING
    EDGE OF THE VERTICAL
    STABILIZER OR FIN.
    SECONDARY FLIGHT CONTROLS ARE INTENDED TO
    IMPROVE THE AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE
    CHARACTERISTICS OR TO RELIEVE EXCESSIVE CONTROL
    LOADING, AND CONSIST OF HIGH LIFT DEVICES SUCH
    AS SLATS AND FLAPS AS WELL AS FLIGHT
    SPOILERS AND TRIM SYSTEMS.

    SECONDARY FLIGHT CONTROLS


    SECONDARY FLIGHT
    CONTROLS
    WHAT ARE SECONDARY FLIGHT CONTROLS ?

    SECONDARY FLIGHT CONTROLS ARE


    NOT NECESSARILY ON EVERY TYPE OF
    AIRCRAFT. THEY PROVIDE SECONDARY
    AERODYNAMIC EFFECTS THAT CAN
    HELP THE MANUEVERABILITY OF THE
    AIRCRAFT SOME OF WHICH MAY
    INCREASE OR DECREASE DRAG AND
    LIFT TO SPECIFIC AXES
    FLAPS
    FLAPS ARE A 
    HIGH LIFT DEVICE
     CONSISTING OF A HINGED
    PANEL OR PANELS
    MOUNTED ON THE 
    TRAILING EDGE OF THE
    WING. WHEN EXTENDED,
    THEY INCREASE THE 
    CAMBER AND, IN MOST
    CASES, THE CHORD AND
    SURFACE AREA OF THE
    WING RESULTING IN AN
    INCREASE OF BOTH LIFT
     AND DRAG AND A
    REDUCTION OF THE 
    STALL SPEED.
    TRIMMING AND BALANCING
    DEVICES
    FLAPS ARE A HIGH LIFT DEVICE
     CONSISTING OF A HINGED
    PANEL OR PANELS MOUNTED
    ON THE TRAILING EDGE OF THE
    WING. WHEN EXTENDED, THEY
    INCREASE THE CAMBER AND,
    IN MOST CASES, THE CHORD
     AND SURFACE AREA OF THE
    WING RESULTING IN AN
    INCREASE OF BOTH LIFT AND 
    DRAG AND A REDUCTION OF
    THE STALL SPEED.
    SPOILERS SECONDARY FLIGHT
    CONTROLS THAT DECREASES
    THE LIFT OF AN AIRCRAFT.
    RETRACTING SPOILERS MAY
    ACT AS AIR BRAKES WHEN IN
    GROUND OR IN FLIGHT
    SLATS
    SLATS ARE EXTENDABLE, HIGH
    LIFT DEVICES ON THE LEADING
    EDGE OF THE WINGS OF SOME
    FIXED WING AIRCRAFT. THEIR
    PURPOSE IS TO INCREASE LIFT
    DURING LOW SPEEDS AND
    PROVIDE GREATER CONTROL ON
    FINAL APPROACH
    SLOTS
    IN CONTRAST TO SLATS, SLOTS ARE SPACES IN
    WHICH AIR COULD PASS THROUGH AND HELPS
    THE AIRCRAFT TO DECREASE ITS STALLING
    SPEED
    IN AN EVENT THAT THE AIRCRAFT PRODUCES
    TOO MUCH VELOCITY, AIR BRAKES OR SPEED
    BRAKES ARE A TYPE OF SECONDARY FLIGHT
    CONTROL SURFACE USED ON AN AIRCRAFT TO
    INCREASE THE DRAG ON THE AIRCRAFT AND
    REDUCE AIR SPEED AVOIDING UNECESSARY
    SPEED AND MAINTAIN BETTER CONTROL.
