This paper investigates the influence of aeroelastic deformation on static aileron control efficiency and free-flight dynamic roll maneuverability of high-aspect-ratio wings based on an aeroelastic-flight dynamics platform embedded with enhanced modal approach, which captures geometrically nonlinear effects and analyzes aileron efficiency by deflecting ailerons at various spanwise locations
