Seen a number of opinions, all pilots, on this subject: If a wing has sufficient dihedral angle, ailerons are not needed. There have been more than a couple pilots in aviation history that have died from their designs modeled after birds(biomimetics). Speculative opinion: birds have exceptional “tactile” feedback as air flows over their wings which gives them exceptional control for ever slight adjustments. Something difficult to replicate in mechanical control/linear motion. Stick/pedal feedback sure. But not the same.
So can it be done? Additionally, could in flight dihedral adjustments be an option or would there be too much time lapse between pilot inputs to achieve the desired airframe attitude?
