Wing dihedral
"When an aircraft with dihedral rolls so that one wind is lower than the
other, the lower wing will have more effective lift than the raised wing
because it is not tilted from the horizontal as much. The imbalance in lift
tends to raise the lower wing and restore level flight."
I used to think that, but it was pointed out that the issue isn't
"raising the wing" as "rotating the aircraft" and that the higher wing
still has a moment that will tend to rotate the aircraft.
