Differential ailerons. Control surface rigged such that the aileron moving up moves a greater distance than the aileron moving down.

 


Differential Ailerons. Ailerons interconnected so that the aileron which moves upwards moves through a larger angle than the other which moves downwards.

Differential Ailerons
Differential ailerons are designed so that the up-going aileron rises a greater angle than the down going aileron.

The ideal training aircraft would probably be one that had the ability to change a few linkages and get rid of the differential ailerons, which would give the airplane very noticeable adverse yaw when being used as a trainer.
