Like in a conventional aircraft, youll still have a yoke or stick in the cockpit to control pitch and roll. Upward Deflection : Raising both elevons decreases the camber of the wing. Downward Deflection : When the elevons are lowered, the camber increases. But how do elevons help you do this?

The pilot is able to control the aircrafts roll by turning the control yoke or sidestick in the cockpit. The asymmetry between the top and bottom surface of the wing is called wing camber. The downward movement of the aileron increases the asymmetry and, therefore, the camber while raising the aileron reduces the wing camber.
