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
Normal axis, or yaw axis — an axis drawn from top to bottom, and perpendicular to the other two axes, parallel to the fuselage or frame station.; Transverse axis, lateral axis, or pitch axis — an axis running from the pilot's left to right in piloted aircraft, and parallel to the wings of a winged aircraft, parallel to the buttock line.
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.
The vertical/Z axis, or yaw axis, is an imaginary line running vertically through the ship and through its centre of mass. A yaw motion is a side-to side movement of the bow and stern of the ship. The transverse/Y axis, lateral axis, or pitch axis is an imaginary line running horizontally across the ship and through the centre of mass. A pitch ...
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)
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.
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.
Yaw rotation: Swivels left and right; For example, the trajectory of an airplane in flight has three degrees of freedom and its attitude along the trajectory has three degrees of freedom, for a total of six degrees of freedom. For rolling in flight and ship dynamics, see roll (aviation) and roll (ship motion), respectively.
