Camber Longitudinal Axis Thrust

Roll or bank is the aircrafts movement about its longitudinal axis. Since theyre located on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis, both ailerons need to move in the opposite directions to complement each others motion. The asymmetry between the top and bottom surface of the wing is called wing camber.

This principle is fundamental in generating lift, thrust, and maneuverability, allowing aircraft to fly. Thrust (how it moves forward). One is the upper wing surfaces curvature compared to the lower surface, called wing camber. That force is called thrust. Thrust relies on Newtons Third Law as well.
