    Basic aircraft control surfaces and motion. A)aileron B)control stick C)elevator D)rudder. Aircraft flight control surfaces are aerodynamic devices allowing a pilot to adjust and control the aircraft's flight attitude. Development of an effective set of flight control surfaces was a critical advance in the development of aircraft.

    X-53 Active Aeroelastic Wing in flight. Several technology research and development efforts exist to integrate the functions of aircraft flight control systems such as ailerons, elevators, elevons and flaps into wings to perform the aerodynamic purpose with the advantages of less: mass, cost, drag, inertia (for faster, stronger control response), complexity (mechanically simpler, fewer moving ...

    It has been assessed to be considerably valuable for missiles requiring a high level of maneuverability, as used in shorter-range dogfights between fighter aircraft. [1] An early adopter of the rolleron was the AIM-9 Sidewinder, a prominent air-to-air missile. Such devices are present on all four of its rear wings.

  9. Aileron roll - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileron_roll

    Diagram of how an aileron roll is performed in relation to other common rolls. The aileron roll is an aerobatic maneuver in which an aircraft does a full 360° revolution about its longitudinal axis. When executed properly, there is no appreciable change in altitude and the aircraft exits the maneuver on the same heading as it entered.
