May 25, 200719 yr No picture with this question. It would be instantly recognised by 99% of simmers.We know what differential ailerons are and a few would know the technical reasons for their use....BUTQuestion. What was the first production aircraft type to incorporate the use of differential ailerons.Roger Cheers, Roger http://forum.avsim.net/public/styles_images/flags/au.png

May 25, 200719 yr Brazilian ALBERTO SANTOS-DUMONT has been credited with being the first to produce and fly a heavier than air airplane that not only used ailerons, but was capable of taking off from an airstrip using nothing but it's own power. His first flight was performed in France in 1906 in an aircraft designated the '14-bis'. Whether they were 'differential ailerons' is unclear. The Tiger Moth definetely had them, but with so many inventions in aviation happening at the same time, it's hard to distinguish who was first with a lot of them. It's like everybody decided at once that, "Hey, we can fly!"John M

No hinges along the leading edge. An open gap from top to bottom, and a leading edge that hangs down into the airstream when the aileron is up.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/172426.jpg
