An aircraft includes a fuselage, and first and second freewings. Each of the first and second freewings is separately mounted to the fuselage and independently freely pivotable about respective pivot axes. The aircraft includes an angular rate sensor configured to measure a roll rate of the fuselage and to output a first roll rate signal. The aircraft includes a controller in communication with the angular rate sensor and configured to receive a second roll rate signal from the pilot and to compare the first and second roll rate signals to generate first and second control surface control signals. The aircraft includes at least one control actuator in communication with the controller and configured to actuate a first control surface of the first freewing and a second control surface of the second freewing in response to the first and second control surface control signals, respectively, to control the roll rate of the aircraft.
