Aileron副翼
An aileron is a hinged control surface located on the trailing edge of each wing that deflects in opposite directions to produce roll about the aircraft’s longitudinal axis. In aerospace documentation, it appears in flight control system descriptions, pilot operating handbooks, maintenance manuals, and training materials where roll control, trim, and failure modes are explained, and it is often grouped with elevators and rudder as primary flight controls.

Where this term appears
In localization, aileron appears in flight controls chapters, pilot operating handbooks, maintenance training modules, engineering drawings, and flight simulator menus. Translators must distinguish it from flaps, spoilers, and slats, and ensure the phrase 'roll control' maps clearly to the aileron function rather than a general rolling movement.
Translation checks
A typical error is translating aileron as an 'auxiliary wing' or confusing it with flaps, which produce lift and drag rather than roll. In flight control failure procedures, mixing aileron and flap terms can mislead the pilot about the availability of roll control and the correct recovery action.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check procedure sequence, part names, limits and cautions against the supplied references. Applicable aviation or market requirements depend on the product and project pathway.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
