  2. Flight control surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces

    A raised aileron reduces lift on that wing and a lowered one increases lift, so moving the aileron control in this way causes the left wing to drop and the right wing to rise. This causes the aircraft to roll to the left and begin to turn to the left. Centering the control returns the ailerons to the neutral position, maintaining the bank angle ...

  3. Trailing edge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailing_edge

    [5] In two-dimensional flow around a uniform wing of infinite span, the slope of the lift curve is determined primarily by the trailing edge angle. The slope is greatest if the angle is zero; and decreases as the angle increases. [6] [7] For a wing of finite span, the aspect ratio of the wing also significantly influences the slope of the curve ...

  4. Aileron roll - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileron_roll

    Note the aileron deflection on the right wing. 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 ...

  5. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    A control system includes control surfaces which, when deflected, generate a moment (or couple from ailerons) about the cg which rotates the aircraft in pitch, roll, and yaw. For example, a pitching moment comes from a force applied at a distance forward or aft of the cg, causing the aircraft to pitch up or down.

  6. Aileron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileron

    Ailerons also had the advantage of not weakening the airplane's wing structure as did the wing warping technique, [5] which was one reason for Esnault-Pelterie's decision to switch to ailerons. [16] By 1911 most biplanes used ailerons rather than wing warping—by 1915 ailerons had become almost universal on monoplanes as well.

  7. Flap (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flap_(aeronautics)

    Ailerons are similar to flaps (and work the same way), but are intended to provide lateral control, rather than to change the lifting characteristics of both wings together, and so operate differentially – when an aileron on one wing increases the lift, the opposite aileron does not, and will often work to decrease lift.

  8. Lifting-line theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting-line_theory

    The Lanchester-Prandtl lifting-line theory [1] is a mathematical model in aerodynamics that predicts lift distribution over a three-dimensional wing from the wing's geometry. [2] The theory was expressed independently [3] by Frederick W. Lanchester in 1907, [4] and by Ludwig Prandtl in 1918–1919 [5] after working with Albert Betz and Max Munk ...

  9. Spoiler (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler_(aeronautics)

    Spoiler controls can be used for roll control (outboard or mid-span spoilers) or descent control (inboard spoilers). Some aircraft use spoilers in combination with or in lieu of ailerons for roll control, primarily to reduce adverse yaw when rudder input is limited by higher speeds.
