aileron
- Definição1
- A primary flight control surface mounted on the trailing edge of the wing, which controls the rolling movement of the aircraft or its rotation about its longitudinal axis. The ailerons move differentially - the up-going aileron is on the side where the aircraft is banked, whereas the down-going aileron is on the side of the up-going wing.
