pitch control. They do so by decreasing or increasing the downward force created by the stabilizer:
* an increased downward force, produced by up elevator, forces the tail down and the nose up. At constant speed, the wing's increased angle of attack causes a greater lift to be produced by the wing, accelerating the aircraft upwards. The drag and power demand also increase;
* a decreased downward force at the tail, produced by down elevator, causes the tail to rise and the nose to lower. At constant
