As the airflow approaches the wing, the flow splits above and below the leading edge. Wing Camber Wing camber defines how much more curved the wings upper surface is compared to the lower surface. They adjust wing camber, thickness, and aspect ratio to balance lift, drag, and stall characteristics for different aircraft roles.

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. The downside of this approach is a lack of redundancy. What Is Aircraft Stability?

One is the upper wing surfaces curvature compared to the lower surface, called wing camber. High camber generally promotes more airflow deflection, thanks to something called Bernoullis Principle. However, its even possible to generate lift from a wing with symmetrical upper and lower surfaces, that is, without camber.
