What do you call the angle of the direction of an airplane? I am thinking of "tilt" or "slant", but I am not if there's a more specific word for planes. I am thinking there's a more technical word for it, but I am not sure.
For example:
The pilot changed the tilt of the aircraft nose by pushing the
joystick forward.
