  • Q6
    What is elevon control?
    A type of aircraft control that combines the functions of both elevator and aileron control.
    A type of control used only during takeoff and landing.
    A type of control used to adjust the pitch of an aircraft.
    A type of control used to control the engine thrust of an aircraft.

  • Q7
    How are elevons typically operated?
    By moving them up or down and tilting left or right.
    By sliding them left or right.
    By pushing them forward or pulling them back.
    By rotating them clockwise or counterclockwise.

  • Q8
    What is the purpose of elevon control?
    To control the flaps and slats of an aircraft.
    To control the yaw and thrust of an aircraft.
    To control the engine power of an aircraft.
    To control the pitch and roll of an aircraft simultaneously.

  • Q9
    How are elevons different from regular ailerons?
    Elevons are used for vertical control, while regular ailerons are used for horizontal control.
    Elevons are controlled by pedals, while regular ailerons are controlled by a joystick or yoke.
    Elevons are mounted on the vertical stabilizer, while regular ailerons are mounted on the wings.
    Elevons combine the functions of both elevator and aileron control, while regular ailerons only control the roll of the aircraft.

  • Q10
    Which direction do elevons move to control pitch?
    Left or right.
    Up or down.
    Clockwise or counterclockwise.
    Forward or backward.

  • Q12
    What is ruddervator control?
    A control system used to control the pitch and yaw of an aircraft simultaneously.
    A control system used to control the pitch and roll of an aircraft simultaneously.
    A control system used to control the roll and yaw of an aircraft simultaneously.
    A control system used to control the roll and pitch of an aircraft simultaneously.

  • Q14
    How does ruddervator control differ from traditional elevator control?
    Ruddervator control combines pitch and yaw control, while traditional elevator control only controls pitch.
    Ruddervator control combines roll and pitch control, while traditional elevator control combines pitch and yaw control.
    Ruddervator control combines roll and yaw control, while traditional elevator control only controls pitch.
    Ruddervator control combines roll and pitch control, while traditional elevator control only controls pitch.

  • Q15
    What is the purpose of a ruddervator interconnect?
    To ensure coordinated control of pitch and yaw during certain flight conditions.
    To provide backup control in case of ruddervator failure.
    To prevent any control input from affecting pitch and yaw simultaneously.
    To improve the roll control of an aircraft.
