This is impossible.There are 3 Ailerons installed,each connected to
Just looked at a photo I took in the cruise and yes there are 3 sections - you call it 3 ailerons, I called one aileron split into 3 sections. I think we mean the same thing

At least on the A330/A340 there is a function which supports the rudder during "low speed" situations and high "rudder demand" by splitting the ailerons and deploying Spoiler No6.
That had occurred to me - there seems to be unnecessary drag being produced for any given roll demand. Proverse yaw? But surely the FBW will take care of any artificial stability requirements?
