adverse yaw

  • 1Adverse yaw — is a secondary effect of the application of the ailerons in aircraft. Its cause and effect can be explained as follows:When the control column of an aircraft is moved to the right, the right aileron is deflected upwards, and the left aileron is… …

  • 2adverse yaw — A flight condition in which the nose of an aircraft starts to move in the direction opposite to that in which the turn is initiated. The downward deflected aileron, in this case, produces greater induced drag, which results in adverse yaw.… …
