In this class we dig into the science behind aircraft control. From landing massive wide-body jets to flying loops in a biplane, learners will get to know the primary and secondary control surfaces of various aircraft, how they effect flight, and how the pilot combines their use to make the airplane do what he or she wants. The class will conclude with learners reasoning through how a stunt pilot can use control inputs to perform the most common airshow maneuvers.

This class has one prerequisite, "Aviation Science: The 4 Forces of Flight." The information in that class will help learners more easily grasp the concepts presented in this class.
