Elevators. They control the pitch of the aircraft.
Elevators. They are the movable parts of the horizontal fins on the tail. When the move upwards, the airflow pushes the tail down, which points the nose up.
It is called the horizontal stabilizer. The elevators are mounted on the tail end of it.
The elevator is used to control the airplane's pitch (up, and down angle of the nose). The elevator is located on the horizontal tail fins.
An inverted airfoil on the the horizontal stabilizer of an airplane will stabilize the aircraft along the horizontal axis in forward flight.
The propellers act as a thrusting force which drives the airplane forward. In addition to the wings and vertical and horizontal tail wings, this helps an airplane to become airborne and fly.
Most airplanes have fixed tail surfaces known as either a horizontal stabilizer or vertical stabilizer. The horizontal stabilizer has an attached moveable surface called an elevator while the vertical stabilizer has an attached moveable surface called a rudder. On certain airplane models, such as the Piper Cherokee or Cessna Cardinal, the entire horizontal tail is a one-piece surface that rotates and performs the function of both the horizontal stabilizer and elevator. Combining the words stabilizer and elevator, this type of control is known as a stabilator. Elevators, stabilators, and rudders, generally have another small moveable control piece on the trailing edge known as a trim tab. Most trim tabs can be adjusted by the pilot in flight to cause the control surface, to which it is attached, to stay slightly deflected in a particular direction, relieving the pilot of having to apply control forces during stabilized flight. Some trim tabs, such as rudder trim tabs on many small airplanes, must be adjusted on the ground and cannot be adjusted in flight. Some airplane designs do not require any stabilizers or control surfaces on the tail. The canard design places a horizontal stabilizer and elevator, or a stabilator, near the front of the airplane and vertical stabilizers and rudders on the tips of the main wing. The main wing is located near the rear of the airplane. The canard design is more efficient in flight than a conventional airplane design, since both the wing and horizontal stabilizer produce lift in flight. In a conventional airplane design, with stabilizers on the tail, the horizontal stabilizer produces a downward force during flight to provide stability, reducing the overall efficiency.

A hinged horizontal surface on an airplane or the like, used to control the longitudinal inclination and usually placed at the tail end of the fuselage.
Elevators are usually on the horizontal tail of the aircraft. They effectively change theangle of attack of the wings causing either climb or descent.
The elevator are the control surfaces on an airplane that make the aircraft pitch nose UP or DOWN and causes the airplane to rise or descend. The Elevator are usually on the tail of the aircraft and are mounted on the horizontal tail surfaces. However, some aircraft have this control forward of the main wings.
Depending on context this could either be 'aft' (when inside the airplane), or 'Empennage' when referring to the entire tail section (the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, the rudder, the elevators, as well as rudder and elevator trim).
