what is an aleron?

Answer 1

the aileron is a hinged surface normally located n the trailing edge of the wing. the way they (one left and one right) work is by increasing the lift on one side or the other of the wing (left or right) and decreasing the lift on the other. lets look at the left wing for a moment. if you move the control to turn left, the left aileron moves up into the airflow and not only forces the air to move up the aileron surface but by doing that, forces the wing down. it also lessens the lift on the left wing, on the right wing, the aileron moves down, kind of like a flap and increases lift on the right making the entire wing surface roll to the left that in conjunction with the other surfaces of the aircraft are how the pilots are able to make coordinated turns and if needed keep the wings level while in turbulence

Answer 2

Airplanes have one aileron on each wing. It is located on the trailing edge (the rear of the wing). They deflect air and make the plane "roll".

If the left aileron goes up, the one on the right goes down causing the plane to roll to the left.

Answer 3

The aileron is the control surface on the wing that is responsible for rolling the airplane.

Answer 4

Gee! I have no idea what an aleron is?

Could you possibly use spell check so your question would read aileron??????????????

P.S. - Not all airplanes have an aileron on each wing and on the "flying wing", the ailerons also work as elevators - both ailerons going up and down at the same time.

Answer 5

Aileron Is French and it mean little wing. The above answer are right for the most part.

Answer 6

It is a control surface on the wing and is used to roll the aircraft.

They are located at the trailing edge of the wing usually close to the wing tip and they move opposite to each other (one goes up and one goes down).
