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. The aircrafts wing is able to generate lift due to its shape. How Do Ailerons Work?

This principle is fundamental in generating lift, thrust, and maneuverability, allowing aircraft to fly. Both Newton’s Third Law and Bernoulli’s Principle contribute to lift generation. Thrust (how it moves forward). This means aircraft need to generate a force to push them forward.

Air taxi operations, executive jets, helicopters, and general aviation activities have been excluded in the interests of concision. 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.
