  2. 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 ...

    Yawing moment due to yaw rate. Yaw rate input at any roll angle generates rudder, fin and fuselage force vectors which dominate the resultant yawing moment. Yawing also increases the speed of the outboard wing whilst slowing down the inboard wing, with corresponding changes in drag causing a (small) opposing yaw moment.

  4. Stability derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_derivatives

    "Q" or "q" is used for angular rate about the Y axis ("Pitch rate about the pitch axis"). "R" or "r" is used for angular rate about the Z axis ("Yaw rate about the yaw axis"). Whether it is around the Z body axis or the Z stability axis depends on context (such as a subscript).

  5. Cornering brake control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornering_Brake_Control

    These sensors calculate variables such as speed, acceleration, yaw rate, and steering angle. [16] CBC then uses these variables to adjust brake pressure, desired yaw rate, brake steer torque, and stopping distance. Experimentation with CBC technology has used Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) testing to prove its real-time response to these factors ...

  6. Spacecraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_flight_dynamics

    Analogous to linear motion, the angular rotation rate (degrees per second) is obtained by integrating α over time: = and the angular rotation is the time integral of the rate: = The three principal moments of inertia I x , I y , and I z about the roll, pitch and yaw axes, are determined through the vehicle's center of mass .

  7. Aircraft dynamic modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_dynamic_modes

    A sideslip develops, resulting in a slip-flow which is right-to-left. Now examine the resulting forces one at a time, calling any rightward influence yaw-in, leftward yaw-out, or roll-in or -out, whichever applies. The slip-flow will: push the fin, rudder, and other side areas aft of the plane's centre of gravity to the left, causing a right ...

  8. Attitude and heading reference system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_and_heading...

    An attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) consists of sensors on three axes that provide attitude information for aircraft, including roll, pitch, and yaw. These are sometimes referred to as MARG (Magnetic, Angular Rate, and Gravity) [ 1 ] sensors and consist of either solid-state or microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscopes ...

  9. Euler angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles

    A yaw will obtain the bearing, a pitch will yield the elevation, and; a roll gives the bank angle. Therefore, in aerospace they are sometimes called yaw, pitch, and roll. Notice that this will not work if the rotations are applied in any other order or if the airplane axes start in any position non-equivalent to the reference frame.
