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. Fly-by-wire is expensive, so you wont find it on most small general aviation aircraft.

This principle is fundamental in generating lift, thrust, and maneuverability, allowing aircraft to fly. Both Newton’s Third Law and Bernoulli’s Principle contribute to lift generation. Thrust (how it moves forward). One is the upper wing surfaces curvature compared to the lower surface, called wing camber.
