yawing motion
11Directional 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 …
12Aircraft dynamic modes — Source: Flight dynamicsThe dynamic stability of a vehicle denotes the complete study of the motion occurring after the vehicle has been disturbed. If the aircraft returns to equilibrium without overshoot, the motion is a simple subsidence. If the …
