Adverse yaw is a side effect of aileron use, countered by rudder input. 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. What Is an Aileron?

This principle is fundamental in generating lift, thrust, and maneuverability, allowing aircraft to fly. Thrust (how it moves forward). Thrust and Propulsion Systems A wing has to move fast enough through the air to generate lift effectively. That force is called thrust. Thrust relies on Newtons Third Law as well.
