  2. Six degrees of freedom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_freedom

    First-person shooter (FPS) games generally provide five degrees of freedom: forwards/backwards, slide left/right, up/down (jump/crouch/lie), yaw (turn left/right), and pitch (look up/down). If the game allows leaning control, then some consider it a sixth DOF; however, this may not be completely accurate, as a lean is a limited partial rotation.

  3. Flight simulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_simulator

    A flight simulator is a device that artificially re-creates aircraft flight and the environment in which it flies, for pilot training, ... providing yaw cues. A ...

  4. Motion simulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_simulator

    This used the pilot's control stick and rudder controls to control organ-type bellows under the simulator cockpit. The bellows could inflate or deflate, giving movement in pitch, roll, and yaw. In 1958 a flight simulator for the Comet 4 aircraft used a three-degrees-of-freedom hydraulic system.

  5. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    Flight dynamics is the science of air vehicle orientation and control in three dimensions. The three critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation in three dimensions about the vehicle's center of gravity (cg), known as pitch, roll and yaw.

  6. Flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_dynamics

    Flight dynamics is the science of air-vehicle orientation and control in three dimensions. The critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation with respect to the three aircraft's principal axes about its center of gravity, known as roll, pitch and yaw.

  7. 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]

  8. Full motion racing simulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_motion_racing_simulator

    A full motion racing simulator with 6DOF simulation (roll, pitch, yaw, surge, sway and heave). The number of degrees of freedom (DOF) specifies how many ways a simulator can rotate or translate. Arguably the two most common use cases are auto racing and flight simulators.

  9. Stability derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_derivatives

    In a flight simulator, it is possible to "look up" new values for stability and control derivatives as conditions change. And so, the "linear approximations" aren't as great and stability can be assessed in maneuvers that span a greater range of flight conditions. Flight simulators used for analysis such as this are called "engineering simulators".
