aileron : Sur un avion, les ailerons sont des gouvernes agissant en sens opposé (l'une monte quand l'autre descend et inversement) et servant à produire un mouvement de roulis. Ils sont généralement situés à l'extrémité de l'aile car le bras de levier étant plus grand, l'effet recherché est d'autant plus grand. Sur les avions de ligne de type Boeing ou Airbus il existe, en plus des ailerons classiques en bout d'aile (utilisés aux basses vitesses), des ailerons situés près de l'emplanture utilisés aux grandes vitesses pour réduire les efforts de torsion dans l'aile. L'action des ailerons peut être complétée par celle des spoilers ou des aérofreins utilisés de façon non symétrique. 3, record 1, French, - nervure%20d%27aileron
