amount of yaw
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 drive — The yaw drive is an important component in horizontal axis wind turbines. To ensure the wind turbine is producing the maximal amount of electrical energy at all times, the yaw drive is used to keep the rotor facing into the wind as the wind… …
3Adverse 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… …
4Flight control surfaces — Aircraft flight control surfaces allow a pilot to adjust and control the aircraft s flight attitude.Development of an effective set of flight controls was a critical advance in the development of the aircraft. Early efforts at fixed wing aircraft …
5Visual flight (aviation) — Visual flight or Visual Attitude Flying is a method of controlling an aircraft where the aircraft attitude is determined by observing outside visual references. The remainder of this article is applicable to fixed wing aircraft; much of it is… …
6Radio-controlled aircraft — A radio controlled aircraft (often called RC aircraft or RC plane) is a model aircraft that is controlled remotely, typically with a hand held transmitter and a receiver within the craft. The receiver controls the corresponding servos that move… …
7Dihedral (aircraft) — For other uses, see Dihedral. The upward tilt of the wings and tailplane of an aircraft, as seen on this Boeing 737, is called dihedral angle Dihedral angle is the upward angle from horizontal of the wings or tailplane of a fixed wing aircraft.… …
8Aileron — For the band, see The Ailerons …
9Stall (flight) — For other uses, see stall. In fluid dynamics, a stall is a reduction in the lift coefficient generated by a foil as angle of attack increases. This occurs when the critical angle of attack of the foil is exceeded. The critical angle of attack is… …
10Ultralight trike — An ultralight trike, also known as a flex wing trike, weight shift control aircraft, microlight trike, deltatrike[1] or motorized deltaplane,[2] is a type of powered hang glider using a high performance Rogallo wing coupled to a propeller powered …
