Class AileronControlSurface
Primary roll control surface that deflects differentially to generate rolling moment. Ailerons are typically mounted on the outer trailing edge of the wing.

public class AileronControlSurface : ControlSurfaceRemarks
Ailerons work in opposition: when one deflects up (reducing lift on that wing), the opposite one deflects down (increasing lift), creating the roll moment needed for banking. Effectiveness depends on airspeed and distance from the aircraft centerline (moment arm). Adverse yaw may occur due to differential drag, often compensated by rudder input.
