Interest has recently been expressed about the impact of static aeroelasticity on the lateral control of oblique winged aircraft. An attempt is made to illustrate, by use of a simple example, together with results from published literature, an aeroelastic phenomenon which is believed to be unique to oblique winged aircraft. This phenomenon is the aeroelastic roll moment and occurs because upward bending deflection of the sweptforward wing generates additional lift while the converse is true of sweptback wings.
