Center of Gravity: Used to calculate and balance the aircraft’s center of gravity. The Difference Between a Chord Line and a Camber Line The chord line is a straight line that crosses the leading and trailing edges of the airfoil. The mean camber line is drawn halfway between the upper and lower surfaces.

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. This shifts the ailerons Center of Gravity (C.G.) What Is Aircraft Stability?
