The term spoileron consists of the English terms spoiler ( spoilers) and aileron (aileron ). For aircraft spoilerons are spoilers, the asymmetrically applied the effect of ailerons achieve. If a spoileron activated to an airfoil, there is reduced lift while increasing the air resistance. Because of the unilateral action that leads to the simultaneous roll and yaw motion. Therefore, supplement or replace some aircraft the ailerons to simplify the control or improve spoilerons.
