  2. Yaw (rotation) - Wikipedia

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

    The yaw rate is directly related to the lateral acceleration of the vehicle turning at constant speed around a constant radius, by the relationship tangential speed*yaw velocity = lateral acceleration = tangential speed^2/radius of turn, in appropriate units. The sign convention can be established by rigorous attention to coordinate systems.

  3. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    Rolling moment due to yaw rate. Yaw increases the speed of the outboard wing whilst reducing speed of the inboard one, causing a rolling moment to the inboard side. The contribution of the fin normally supports this inward rolling effect unless offset by anhedral stabilizer above the roll axis (or dihedral below the roll axis).

  4. Flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_dynamics

    Yaw is known as "heading". A fixed-wing aircraft increases or decreases the lift generated by the wings when it pitches nose up or down by increasing or decreasing the angle of attack (AOA). The roll angle is also known as bank angle on a fixed-wing aircraft, which usually "banks" to change the horizontal direction of flight.

  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. Yaw-rate sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw-rate_sensor

    A yaw-rate sensor is a gyroscopic device that measures a vehicle's yaw rate, its angular velocity around its vertical axis. The angle between the vehicle's heading and velocity is called its slip angle , which is related to the yaw rate.

  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 ...

    The yaw system of wind turbines is the component responsible for the orientation of the wind turbine rotor towards the wind. History. The task of orienting ...

    Yaw (ship motion), one of the ship motions' principal axes of rotation, describing motion about the vertical axis of a ship (bow-left or bow-right angle measured from vertical axis) Yaw rate (or yaw velocity), the angular speed of yaw rotation, measured with a yaw rate sensor
