yaw system
1Yaw axis — is a vertical axis through an aircraft, rocket, or similar body, about which the body yaws; it may be a body, wind, or stability axis. Also known as yawing axis. [cite web|url=http://www.websters online… …
2Yaw damper — Ein Gierdämpfer (engl. yaw damper, Y/D) ist ein in Flugzeugen verwendetes automatisches System, das unerwünschtes Gieren, d.h. Drehen um die Hochachse, durch Gegensteuern mit dem Seitenruder verhindert. Eingeführt wurde das System in den 1960er… …
3yaw damper — A part of an automatic flight control system used to keep the aircraft from unwanted yawing. A yaw damper senses the onset of yaw and immediately applies the correct rudder to eliminate it. Yaw dampers are used in swept wing aircraft to reduce… …
4yaw — i. The rotation of an aircraft or a missile about its vertical axis so as to cause its longitudinal axis to deviate from the flight line or heading in its horizontal plane. Also known as yawing. ii. To rotate or oscillate about a vertical axis.… …
5Active Yaw — Unter Active Yaw oder Torque Vectoring versteht man die aktive Beeinflussung des Gierwinkels von Kraftfahrzeugen (engl. „Yaw Angle“) bzw. der Gierwinkelbeschleunigung (Gierrate, eng. „Yaw Rate“) oder einfach ausgedrückt: Mit Active Yaw Systemen… …
6Active Yaw Control — (AYC) is an automobile feature that uses an active differential to transfer torque to the wheels that have the best grip on the road. Unlike traditional mechanical limited slip differentials, an AYC is electronically controlled.… …
7Inertial navigation system — An Inertial Navigation System (INS) is a navigation aid that uses a computer and motion sensors to continuously track the position, orientation, and velocity (direction and speed of movement) of a vehicle without the need for external references …
8rocket and missile system — ▪ weapons system Introduction any of a variety of weapons systems that deliver explosive warheads to their targets by means of rocket propulsion. Rocket is a general term used broadly to describe a variety of jet propelled missiles… …
9Ice protection system — Ice protection systems are designed to keep atmospheric ice from accumulating on aircraft flight surfaces while in flight. The effects of ice accretion on an aircraft can cause the shape of airfoils and flight control surfaces to change, which… …
10Engine indicating and crew alerting system — An example of information found on a EICAS Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) is an integrated system used in modern aircraft to provide aircraft crew with aircraft engines and other systems instrumentation and crew annunciations …
