| Jan 7, 2023 at 16:04 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | When Sanchises asked you to 'add to your question why', they were not looking for a comment, but literally for you to add why you thought it would reduce adverse yaw Into The Body Of The Question. I went ahead and did that for you via an edit (to "teach by doing.") Hopefully you'll get an answer that you find useful. | |

| Aug 1, 2021 at 22:08 | comment | added | user14897 | @quietflyer: Differential ailerons (simpler) would be a reason why not, i.e. an answer; why not turn it into one? | |
| Aug 1, 2021 at 18:58 | comment | added | quiet flyer | But for the same roll authority and less total drag, why not just use some differential, i.e. increase the movement of the upgoing aileron and decrease the movement of the downgoing aileron? | |
| Aug 1, 2021 at 16:46 | comment | added | xvel | Adverse yaw is caused by difference in drag for aileron up and down positions, aileron down has more drag than aileron up, in this configuration when aileron is up additional drag is created because of split. | |
| Aug 1, 2021 at 16:37 | comment | added | Sanchises | Could you add to your question why you think this would reduce adverse yaw? | |
