If we understand it well enough, we can harness this phenomenon to help us even defy gravity. Developments in aircraft design and engine technology have allowed us to fly farther, faster, and carry more payload. They allow roll control about the aircrafts longitudinal axis. The aircraft pivots about its center of gravity.
