- Definição1
- A primary, horizontal, movable control surface on the tail of an airplane. It produces a pitching movement of the airplane about the lateral axis. When the control column is moved back, the elevators, which are hinged to the rear spar of the tailplane, moved up; if the control column is moved forward, the elevators move down. The lift produced in this process initiates a pitching movement, which moves the aircraft nose up or down, depending on whether the movement of the control column is backward or forward, respectively.

- Definição2
