yawing motion
1Dutch roll — is a type of aircraft motion, consisting of an out of phase combination of tail wagging and rocking from side to side. This yaw roll coupling is one of the basic flight dynamic modes (others include phugoid, short period, and spiral divergence).… …
2Stability derivatives — are a means of linearising the equations of motion of an atmospheric flight vehicle so that conventional control engineering methods may be applied to assess their stability.The dynamics of atmospheric flight vehicles is potentially very… …
3Magnus effect — The Magnus effect, demonstrated on a ball. v represents the wind velocity, the arrow F the resulting force towards the side of lower pressure. The Magnus effect is the phenomenon whereby a spinning object flying in a fluid creates a whirlpool of… …
4Aileron — For the band, see The Ailerons …
5rudder — The primary vertical and movable control surface, which is hinged to the fin and primarily controls the yawing movement of the aircraft. The rudder is moved by foot operated pedals (called rudder pedals) in the cockpit. A rudder application… …
6Aircraft flight mechanics — In aeronautics, aircraft flight mechanics is the study of the forces that act on an aircraft in flight, and the way the aircraft responds to those forces. [Clancy, L.J. Aerodynamics . Section 14.1] Aircraft flight mechanics are relevant to… …
7Rudder — A rudder is a device used to steer a ship, boat, submarine, hovercraft, or other conveyance that move through a fluid (generally air or water). On an aircraft the rudder is used primarily to counter adverse yaw and p factor and is not the primary …
8List of pseudo-German words adapted to English — This is a list of pseudo German words adopted from the German language and adapted in such a way into English that their original meanings are no longer readily recognised by indigenous German speakers due to the new circumstances in which they… …
9rudder authority — noun The degree of control that the rudder can exert over the yawing motion of an aircraft; related to rudder design and airspeed. At slow taxying speed there is insufficient rudder authority to steer the aeroplane …
10Flight dynamics — is the science of air and space 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 mass, known as pitch , roll and yaw… …
