Most of those who contribute here are probably well versed in aerodynamics. Some perhaps not quite so. The following link will take you to a good site if you desire to read a little about the basics, how controls surfaces work etc

When you get there, go to the bottom left and click on Beginners Guide to Aeronautics. When that page comes up, go to the bottom left and click on the green box titled Aerodynamics Index.

That brings up more information than you will ever want about the theory of flight, and also has some interesting links, including one to where it all started, Kittyhawk, now over a hundred years ago.

The blocks on Aircraft Parts, Motion, and Forces will give you a good grounding.

Sorry if this information has appeared elsewhere.
