Consider the following pairs of surface and the axis it controls:

Elevator - Pitch

Rudder - Yaw

Ruddervator - Pitch and yaw together

Dorsal fin - Roll

How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

  • A.All four
  • B.Only three
  • C.Only one
  • D.Only two

Answer: B

The first three are right. A dorsal fin is not a control surface at all; it is a fixed fillet ahead of the fin that delays fin stall at large sideslip angles, and roll on a conventional aircraft belongs to the ailerons and spoilers.
