An aircraft that is enable to turn in a desired direction, and a method for controlling the flight direction of an aircraft, by employing differential drag on the respective wings. A control means that receives a control signal indicating a left turn increases the incidence angle on the left wing and reduces it on the right wing. For a right turn the opposite action is performed. The aircraft comprises airfoils that have increased drag as the incidence angle increases but have a generally constant lift.

Aéronef qui peut tourner dans une direction souhaitée et méthode pour contrôler la direction de vol d'un aéronef par l'emploi de la traînée différentielle des ailes. Un dispositif de contrôle qui reçoit un signal indiquant un virage à gauche augmente l'angle d'incidence de l'aile gauche et réduit celui de l'aile droite. Dans un virage à droite, l'action inverse est exécutée. L'aéronef comprend des profils de voilure caractérisés par une traînée qui s'accroît en proportion de l'augmentation de l'angle d'incidence ainsi que par une portance généralement constante.
