RE: Frieze Type Ailerons?
Here's one way to get the Frise aileron action.
It's accomplished by putting the hinge axis off-center from the surface center.
The nose of the surface protrudes below the lower surface of the wing when the surface moves up, adding drag to that side.
There must be room ahead of the hinge point to permit both up and down clearance for the surface.
The hinge can be on the bottom surface also.. the inflight shot is a Frise aileron in a left turn..
They look different but I don't find them any better than normal ailerons.
