Ailerons: The two ailerons, one at the outer trailing edge of each wing, are movable surfaces that control movement about the longitudinal axis.
Thus, the effect of moving either aileron is aided by the simultaneous and opposite movement of the aileron on the other wing.
Rudder and aileron trim tabs operate on the same principle as the elevator trim tab to relieve pressure on the rudder pedals and sideward pressure on the control wheel, respectively.
Ailerons are located as close as possible to the wing tips, to maximize rollingmoment by increasing the moment arm of the force due to the change in winglift.
The two ailerons are interconnected so that one goes down when the other goes up: the downgoing aileron increases the lift on its wing while the upgoing aileron reduces the lift on the other wing, producing a rollingmoment about the aircraft's longitudinal axis.
An unwanted side-effect of aileron operation is adverse yaw — a yawingmoment in the opposite direction to the turn generated by the ailerons.
