Or how do modern airplanes reduce dangerous effects like aileron flutter or adverse yaw? Unstable aircraft designs are better suited for high-maneuverability aircraft like aerobatic stunt airplanes or military fighters. This shifts the ailerons Center of Gravity (C.G.) With enough mass added, the C.G.
