Generally it refers to ailerons that cover the entire length of the trailing edge,
rather then just being out on the wing tips. They are usually narrower then standard
tip ailerons. Quite often they are used because it simplifies construction,
especially on a plane that has no flaps (no need for a cutout in trailing edge for a
tip aileron), and they make it easier to use a single servo to drive them (not that
this is diserable).
