  1. What are the exact meanings of roll, pitch and yaw?

    Jul 25, 2019 · Therefore, any yaw-pitch-roll triplets that have a pitch angle of plus 90 degrees, and roll-minus-yaw equating to some given value, are describing the same orientation of the aircraft in space, …

  2. aerodynamics - How does a flying wing keep from going into a flat …

    The tips were arranged to give proverse yaw, so that banking into a turn would apply the correct amount of yaw for a smoothly coordinated turn. Part of this was imbued by actual downforce at the tips …

  3. Does the CH-47 Chinook generate differential yaw as a side effect of ...

    Aug 17, 2023 · 6 I have been reading up on the controls of the CH-47 Chinook. I understand how yaw movement is created not by counter torque but by opposite cyclic on the front and back rotors. What …

  4. How did the B2 Bomber achieve yaw - Aviation Stack Exchange

    I came across this diagram of the B2. I was wondering how it achieved yaw. If I'm correct usually the rudder on the tail would do this, but the B2 does not have a tail. Does it have no need for yaw...

  5. What is the difference between turn rate and yaw rate in aircraft?

    Dec 5, 2019 · Therefore, yaw rate is technically exactly equal to the rate of change of heading. In many applications and loose technical speaks, however, yaw rate may also refer to the third component of …

  6. How does a coaxial rotor helicopter achieve yaw?

    Sep 24, 2015 · Without a tail rotor, how does a coaxial rotor helicopter achieve yaw control? Does a coax have to bank in order to turn? The link goes to wikipedia's article, and down a ways it says: …

  7. aircraft design - On coaxial helicopters, how exactly does the yaw ...

    Aug 3, 2019 · This question asks how coaxial helicopters achieve yaw. The accepted answer correctly states that this is done by increasing pitch on one rotor while decreasing pitch on the other rotor, …

  8. stability - Is there a specific relation between sideslip angle and yaw ...

    Apr 28, 2017 · While yaw rate or angle can be controlled by rudder, there are several other forces or control inputs that can affect or control yaw rate or angle. As one example, consider an asymmetrical …

  9. Why not use the yoke to control yaw, as well as pitch and roll?

    Apr 21, 2019 · If the yoke were used to control yaw as well as pitch and roll, this would allow the pilot to make coordinated turns using just their hands, rather than having to remember to push with one of …

  10. Why is "proverse" yaw better than no yaw? - Aviation Stack Exchange

    Mar 18, 2019 · Why is the tendency to yaw in the direction of the roll more desirable (since it's the "proverse" yaw) than the lack of yaw in response to roll? Is it even possible to have no yawing …
