An aileron is a small hinged section on the outboard trailing edge of a wing. What is the purpose of this structure?
Answer To control lateral balance
Ailerons are typically used in opposition to control the aircraft in roll and maintain lateral balance. As one aileron is deflected upward, the other is deflected downward.
