The '''control surfaces''' of an [[aircraft]] are those parts of the wing or tail that control the direction of movement of the aircraft. These surfaces are ailerons, rudder and elevators. Flaps may be considered control surfaces since they alter the geometry of the wing and change the characteristics of flight but they are not primary controls.
