A: If the elevator becomes jammed during flight, there are a few things a pilot can do to regain some control. If the controls have become disconnected, the pilot has something called a trim tab that can be used to move the elevator.

The tilt -- based on its inventors and a book on landing gear design -- is to reduce the touchdown drag loads (spin-up force), which in turn allows for lighter structures.
At least one wing must be stalled for a spin to occur. The other wing rises, decreasing its angle of attack, and the aircraft yaws towards the more deeply stalled wing. The difference in lift between the two wings causes the aircraft to roll, and the difference in drag causes the aircraft to continue yawing.
Flying at a typical altitude of 36,000 feet (about seven miles), an aircraft that loses both engines will be able to travel for another 70 miles before reaching the ground.
The bumps you experience during take off, landing and while clearing clouds is a caused by either of the two turbulence types. Add to that the speed of the airplane cutting through dense air at lower altitudes, and some bumps are expected as well as entirely normal.
A headwind will reduce the ground speed needed for takeoff, as there is a greater flow of air over the wings. Typical takeoff air speeds for jetliners are in the range of 240–285 km/h (130–154 kn; 149–177 mph). Light aircraft, such as a Cessna 150, take off at around 100 km/h (54 kn; 62 mph).
