Which mechanism limited initial Wright Flyer flights despite achieving sufficient lift?

💡 Explanation

When the Wright Flyer banked, adverse yaw occurred because the down-going wing experienced increased drag, causing the aircraft to yaw in the opposite direction of the intended turn, thus limiting roll control. Therefore control reversal results, rather than engine failure, structural collapse, or disorientation, which involve separate failure modes.
