During flight, an aircraft can rotate around three principal axes that intersect at the center of gravity and are perpendicular to each other. One of these, the roll axis, extends longitudinally from the nose to the tail of the aircraft. The rotation of the aircraft around this axis is called rolling motion and is characterized by the upward and downward movement of the wings in opposite directions. Formation of Rolling Motion Rolling motion is typically achieved by the deflection of ailerons. A
