Abstract
An auxiliary flaperon control is pivotally mounted on the trailing edge of each wing of an aircraft between the outboard control surfaces and the fuselage and in close proximity to the tail of said aircraft; the auxiliary flaperon controls being operable relative to the outboard control surfaces to induce supplementary aerodynamic forces on the aircraft tail to thereby augment the effectiveness of aircraft lateral and directional control.
