Camber Thrust Torque

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 rotational force thats needed to move an object about an axis is called torque.

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.
