	[[Image:Rudder.jpg\|thumb\|300px\|Rudder (red) on the tail of a [[Cessna C172]]]]On an aircraft, the '''rudder''' is called a "control surface" along with the rudder-like elevator (attached to horizontal tail structure) and [[aileron]]s (attached to the wings) that control [[pitch]] and [[roll]]. The rudder is usually attached to the fin (or vertical stabilizer) which allows the pilot to control yaw in the vertical axis, i.e. change the horizontal direction in which the nose is pointing. The rudder's direction is manipulated with the movement of foot pedals by the pilot.		#REDIRECT[[Control Surfaces]]
