 deflected downwards, and consequently the less Angle is required of us,
and the better our proportion of Lift to Drift, which, of course, makes
us much more effective Controls." [Illustration: "Wash out" on both
sides.] "Yes," said the Lateral and Directional Stabilities in one
voice, "that's so, and the wash-out helps us also, for then the Surfaces
towards their Wing-tips have less Drift or 'Head-Resistance,' and
consequently the gusts will affect them and us less; but such decreased
Angle of Incidence means decreased Lift as well as Drift, and the
Designer does not always care to pay the price." "Well," said the
Ailerons, "if it's not done it will mean more work for the Rudder, and
that won't please the Pilot." "Whatever do you mean?" asked Efficiency.
"What can the Rudder have to do with you?" "It's like this," they
replied: "when we are deflected downwards we gain a larger Angle of
Incidence and also enter an area of compressed air, and so produce more
Drift than those of us on the other side of the Aeroplane, which are
deflected upwards into an area of rarefied air due to the _suction_
effect (though that term is not academically correct) on the top of the
Surface. If there is more Drift, _i.e._, Resistance, on one side of the
Aeroplane than on the other side, then of course it will turn off its
course, and if that difference in Drift is serious, as it will very
likely be if there is no wash-out, then it will mean a good d
