  2. Six degrees of freedom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_freedom

    Tilting side to side on the X-axis. Tilting forward and backward on the Y-axis. Turning left and right on the Z-axis. In terms of a headset, such as the kind used for virtual reality, rotational envelopes can also be thought of in the following terms: Pitch: Nodding "yes" Yaw: Shaking "no" Roll: Bobbling from side to side

  3. Yaw (rotation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_(rotation)

    A yaw rotation is a movement around the yaw axis of a rigid body that changes the direction it is pointing, to the left or right of its direction of motion. The yaw rate or yaw velocity of a car, aircraft, projectile or other rigid body is the angular velocity of this rotation, or rate of change of the heading angle when the aircraft is horizontal.

  4. Yaw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw

    Yaw angle (or yaw rotation), one of the angular degrees of freedom of any stiff body (for example a vehicle), describing rotation about the vertical axis . Yaw (aviation), one of the aircraft principal axes of rotation, describing motion about the vertical axis of an aircraft (nose-left or nose-right angle measured from vertical axis)

  5. Aircraft principal axes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_principal_axes

    The yaw axis has its origin at the center of gravity and is directed towards the bottom of the aircraft, perpendicular to the wings and to the fuselage reference line. Motion about this axis is called yaw. A positive yawing motion moves the nose of the aircraft to the right. [1] [2] The rudder is the primary control of yaw. [3]

  6. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    Yaw angle ψ: angle between north and the projection of the aircraft longitudinal axis onto the horizontal plane; Pitch angle θ: angle between the aircraft longitudinal axis and horizontal; Roll angle φ: rotation around the aircraft longitudinal axis after rotating by yaw and pitch.

  7. Semicircular canals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicircular_canals

    The semicircular ducts provide sensory input for experiences of rotary movements. They are oriented along the pitch, roll, and yaw axes. The lateral semicircular canal is oriented in the yaw axis, the anterior semicircular canal is oriented in the pitch axis, and the posterior semicircular canal is oriented in the roll axis.

    Headaches are one of the most common medical conditions, with 96% of people having at least one in their lifetime, according to Cleveland Clinic. About 40% of people globally experience what are ...

  9. Stability derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_derivatives

    "X" or "x" axis runs from back to front along the body, called the Roll Axis. "Y" or "y" axis runs left to right along the wing, called the Pitch Axis. "Z" or "z" runs from top to bottom, called the Yaw Axis. Two slightly different alignments of these axes are used depending on the situation: "body-fixed axes", and "stability axes".
