Or how do modern airplanes reduce dangerous effects like aileron flutter or adverse yaw? The asymmetry between the top and bottom surface of the wing is called wing camber. The downward movement of the aileron increases the asymmetry and, therefore, the camber while raising the aileron reduces the wing camber.

Application of Newton’s Third Law in Aviation When we talk about airplanes, we focus primarily on two forces: Lift (how the aircraft stays aloft). One is the upper wing surfaces curvature compared to the lower surface, called wing camber. This has only been possible by understanding the laws of physics.
