Elevators are 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.
The elevator or elevators may be the only pitch control surface present, or may be hinged to a fixed or adjustable surface called a stabilizer.
The rearwing which elevators are attached to have the opposite affect to a wing, which is they create a downward pressure which counters the moment created by the centre of gravity pivoting aroung the centre of pressure.
