Or how do modern airplanes reduce dangerous effects like aileron flutter or adverse yaw? Roll or bank is the aircrafts movement about its longitudinal axis. Since theyre located on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis, both ailerons need to move in the opposite directions to complement each others motion.

One is the upper wing surfaces curvature compared to the lower surface, called wing camber. They allow roll control about the aircrafts longitudinal axis.
