The fundamental static aeroelastic properties of a swept wing which has freedom to roll are studied. It is shown, using a simple example, that the divergence speed of a wing which can roll steadily is high or non-existent and consequently the rolling power of any aileron will vary almost linearly with dynamic pressure, and, in particular, remains finite at the fixed-root divergence speed. Inboard ailerons have higher reversal speeds than outboard ailerons when the wing is swept back but the opposite holds true when the wing is swept forward.
