DEF

An aileron having a nose portion projecting ahead of the hinge axis and a lower surface in line with the lower surface of the wing.

CONT

With a Frise-type aileron, when pressure is applied to the control wheel or control stick, the aileron that is being raised pivots on an offset hinge. This projects the leading edge of the aileron into the airflow and creates drag. It helps equalize the drag created by the lowered aileron on the opposite wing and reduces adverse yaw.
