Its not rocket science...differential ailerons have been on aircraft since the 30's at least.
Either the type where the upgoing one is geared to move approx double the downgoing angle.
Or the frise type where the hinge line is inset so that the nose of the upgoing aileron sticks out into the airflow thereby causing drag to equalise with the downgoing aileron
