Which of the following are the axes of flight?

The correct answer identifies the three primary rotational axes around which an aircraft maneuvers: pitch, roll, and yaw.

Pitch refers to the angle of the aircraft's nose relative to its direction of travel and is controlled by the elevators on the tail. When an aircraft pitches, it moves up or down about its lateral axis.

Roll describes the aircraft's rotation around its longitudinal axis, which runs from the nose to the tail. This movement is managed by the ailerons, allowing the plane to tilt its wings to the left or right.

Yaw indicates the left or right movement of the aircraft's nose compared to its vertical axis, which is controlled by the rudder on the tail. This motion helps in steering the aircraft horizontally.

Understanding these axes is crucial for pilots when controlling flight dynamics and navigating the aircraft effectively. The other options introduce terms that do not represent the fundamental rotational axes of flight, such as thrust or lift, which are forces acting on the aircraft rather than axes of rotation.
