Ris forRudder

A rudder is a device that is used to steer a boat, hovercraft or aircraft. It works by changing the direction the air or water rushes past the vessel. Rudders are typically seen on the back of ships, behind the propeller. Rudders on airplanes are mostly to add stability rather than for steering.
