A lot of big Boeings. For example, the B747 has inboard and outboard ailerons to counter the problem. The outboards are only used at slower speeds, the inboards, because of their position cause very little torsion twisting so don't lead to aileron reversal. The Classic 747s outboards are used when the flaps are at 1 or more, the 747-400s are speed scheduled. 237 Knots rings a bell.

The 707 and 727 had inboards as well. Don't think the 737 does, and don't know about the 777. Airbusses don't.
