  2. 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]

  3. Pole figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_figure

    The stereographic projection of a trace is an arc. The Wulff net is arcs corresponding to planes that share a common axis in the (x,y) plane. If the pole and the trace of a plane are represented on the same diagram, then we turn the Wulff net so the trace corresponds to an arc of the net;

  4. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    In such a 2D diagram of a 3D coordinate system, the z-axis would appear as a line or ray pointing down and to the left or down and to the right, depending on the presumed viewer or camera perspective. In any diagram or display, the orientation of the three axes, as a whole, is arbitrary.

  5. Euclidean planes in three-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_planes_in_three...

    This familiar equation for a plane is called the general form of the equation of the plane or just the plane equation. [ 6 ] Thus for example a regression equation of the form y = d + ax + cz (with b = −1 ) establishes a best-fit plane in three-dimensional space when there are two explanatory variables.

  6. Three-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    The simplest instance is PG(3,2), which has Fano planes as its 2-dimensional subspaces. It is an instance of Galois geometry , a study of projective geometry using finite fields . Thus, for any Galois field GF( q ), there is a projective space PG(3, q ) of three dimensions.

  7. Rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation

    A sphere rotating (spinning) about an axis. Rotation or rotational motion is the circular movement of an object around a central line, known as an axis of rotation.A plane figure can rotate in either a clockwise or counterclockwise sense around a perpendicular axis intersecting anywhere inside or outside the figure at a center of rotation.

  8. Multiview orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    Along a vertical axis (often the y-axis): The top and bottom views, which are known as plans (because they show the arrangement of features on a horizontal plane, such as a floor in a building). Along a horizontal axis (often the z -axis): The front and back views, which are known as elevations (because they show the heights of features of an ...

    T h, (3*2) [3 +,4] 2/m 3, m 3 order 24: pyritohedral symmetry: The seams of a volleyball have T h symmetry. This group has the same rotation axes as T, with mirror planes parallel to the cube faces. The C 3 axes become S 6 axes, and there is inversion symmetry. The two-fold axes give rise to three D 2h subgroups.
