yaw stability
1Stability 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… …
2Yaw 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… …
3Yaw rate sensor — A yaw rate sensor is a gyroscopic device that measures a vehicle’s angular velocity around its vertical axis. The output is usually in degrees per second or radians per second. The angle between the vehicle s heading and vehicle actual movement… …
4Yaw damper — A yaw damper is a device used on many aircraft (usually jets and turboprops) and railway vehicles to damp (reduce) the rolling and yawing oscillations due to Dutch roll mode [ [http://www.boeing 727.com/Data/systems/infoyawdampers.html Yaw… …
5Yaw angle — The yaw angle is the angle between a vehicle s heading and a reference heading (normally true or magnetic North). One of the Tait Bryan angles. In aeronautics, robotics and marine control, it is typically assigned the shorthand notation psi.… …
6directional stability — The stability that concerns yawing about the normal, or vertical, axis. An aircraft is directionally stable if when it is temporarily deflected from its course, it tends to return to the original course without any correction applied by the pilot …
7Electronic stability control — (ESC) is a computerized technology [1][2] that may potentially improve the safety of a vehicle s stability by detecting and minimizing skids.[3] When ESC detects loss of steering control, it automatically applies the brakes to help steer the… …
8Active 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.… …
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 …
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 …
