The aileron produces induced drag. What other forms of drag do you think it produces? Be specific.

The same drag as a speed brake.   The same drag ANYTHING stuck out into the slipstream creates.  Why is this so hard for you to grasp?

There would be less confusion and disagreement if we were all talking about the same thing instead of six different things at the same time.   :lol
