6、ack,Back,Back,Back,Back,Back,Main Flight Controls,The attitude(姿態(tài)) (or position in flight relative to the earth) of the airplane is controlled using the main flight controls. These are surfaces which, when deflected（傾斜；偏轉(zhuǎn)）, alter the pattern of the airflow around the wings and the tail section, caus

7、ing changes in the aerodynamic forces that they generate.,Back,Grammar 1,These are surfaces which, when deflected（傾斜；偏轉(zhuǎn)）, alter the pattern of the airflow around the wings and the tail section, causing changes in the aerodynamic forces that they generate. When deflected 是插入語；在英語中，當(dāng)從句和主句中的謂語動(dòng)詞的主語一致時(shí)，

8、從句中的謂語動(dòng)詞可以用分詞的形式代替。據(jù)此，我們可將when deflected 改寫成：when the surfaces are deflected. e.g.: 1. Lucy is a nice girl who, if praised, would smile a lot. 2. These are flowers which, would die soon if left alone. 3. Dalian, a beautiful city, when covered by snow, looks fantastic.,Elevator,Location: hinged to th
