Noun

Wikipedia definition
2. Elevator (aircraft)​Elevators are flight control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircraft's orientation by changing the pitch of the aircraft, and so also the angle of attack of the wing. In simplified terms, they make the aircraft nose-up or nose-down. (Ascending and descending are more a function of the wing—aircraft typically land nose up. ) An increased wing angle of attack will cause a greater lift to be produced by the profile of the wing, and a slowing of the aircraft speed.
