- Aileron - Wikipedia
An aileron (French for "little wing" or "fin") is a hinged flight control surface usually forming part of the trailing edge of each wing of a fixed-wing aircraft [1]
- Everything You Need To Know About Ailerons - Pilot Institute
Learn how ailerons control an aircraft’s roll, manage lift, counter adverse yaw, and operate through various systems like hydraulics and fly-by-wire
- Ailerons – What are They, and How do They Work? - Thrust Flight
Ailerons are hinged flight control surfaces attached to the trailing edge of an airplane’s wings They are used to control the aircraft’s roll and help it turn
- Ailerons And Elevators: What Are They How Do They Work?
Ailerons and elevators are control surfaces that enable the aircraft to move in the air The roll movement of the aircraft is controlled through the ailerons installed on the wings Pilots control the roll with the control column, moving it right or left to change the aircraft heading
- 6 Aerodynamic Facts About Ailerons Every Pilot Should Know
Ailerons do a lot more than help airplanes turn Here are some important aerodynamic principles every pilot should know When you roll your airplane to the right, your right aileron goes up, and your left aileron goes down
- Ailerons - NASA
Ailerons are small hinged sections on the outboard portion of a wing Ailerons usually work in opposition: as the right aileron is deflected upward, the left is deflected downward, and vice versa
- Control Surface, Wing Flaps Flight Maneuverability - Britannica
aileron, movable part of an airplane wing that is controlled by the pilot and permits them to roll the aircraft around its longitudinal axis Ailerons are thus used primarily to bank the aircraft for turning Ailerons have appeared in different forms throughout the years but are usually part of the wing’s trailing edge, near the tip
- Ailerons - SKYbrary Aviation Safety
Ailerons are a primary flight control surface which control movement about the longitudinal axis of an aircraft This movement is referred to as "roll" The ailerons are attached to the outboard trailing edge of each wing and, when a manual or autopilot control input is made, move in opposite directions from one another
