front slip angle
1Slip angle — In car handling, slip angle is the angle between a rolling wheel s actual direction of travel and the direction towards which it is pointing (i.e., the angle of the vector sum of wheel translational velocity v X and sideslip velocity v Y). This… …
2slip angle — The difference in the actual path taken by a vehicle making a turn and the path it would have taken if it had followed exactly as the wheels were pointed. The slip angle is the result of the tire carcass s flexibility and is the angular… …

4Slip (aerodynamic) — A slip is an aerodynamic state where an aircraft is moving sideways as well as forward relative to the oncoming airflow. In other words, for a conventional aircraft, the nose will not be pointing directly into the relative wind . Flying in a slip …
5Drifting (motorsport) — A Toyota Supra in drifting exhibition in Commerce, Georgia Drifting refers to a driving technique and to a motorsport where the driver intentionally over steers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, while maintaining vehicle …

7Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics — A computer generated, simplified model of bike and rider demonstrating an uncontrolled right turn. An …
8Car handling — and vehicle handling is a description of the way wheeled vehicles perform transverse to their direction of motion, particularly during cornering and swerving. It also includes their stability when moving in a straight line. Handling and braking… …
9Directional stability — is stability of a moving body or vehicle about an axis which is perpendicular to its direction of motion. Stability of a vehicle concerns itself with the tendency of a vehicle to return to its original direction in relation to the oncoming medium …
10Understeer — is a term for a car handling condition in which during cornering the circular path of the vehicle s motion is of a greater radius than the circle indicated by the direction its wheels are pointed. The effect is opposite to that of oversteer. In… …
