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. This movement turns the aircraft about the longitudinal axis, making it enter a bank.

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.

According to the Aviation Safety Database, the aircraft touched down with a recorded vertical acceleration of 2.47g with the longitudinal axis of the aircraft not aligned with the runway track. The tail of the aircraft struck the ground and impacted a fence before it got airborne. The copilot selected the thrust reversers.
