hi!
simple question: why are ailerons top-hinged? i have two explanations:
1) they look better this way
2) since the pushrod is usually on the lower side of wing one can use
shorter control horn (by the thickness of the aileron), to achieve same
throw that helps to reduce drag somewhat.
since i'm putting the pushrod on the top of the wing i would like to put
the hinge to the lower surface. are there any aerodynamical consideration
which make the top hinged ailerons with continous upper surface more
desireable?
