Adverse yaw (or aileron drag) is a secondary effect of the application of the ailerons in aircraft. The aileron that is lowered obtains more lift due to the increased angle of attack, but drag also increases, yawing the aircraft to the side of the lowered aileron.

Adverse yaw can be countered with the aircraft's rudder (a co-ordinated turn), but can also be reduced with clever design. If the upgoing aileron moves further upwards than the downgoing aileron moves down, it will create extra profile drag on that wing and try to yaw the aircraft into the turn. This set-up is known as "differential aileron". Another solution is to use a "Frise aileron", where the up going aileron also projects a section downwards below the wing, again increasing drag on the inside of the turn. A rudder is a device used to steer a ship or other watercraft. ...
