Yaw 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… … Wikipedia
angle of yaw — The angle between a line in the direction of flight and a plane through the longitudinal and vertical axes of an aircraft. It is considered to be positive if the nose is displaced to the right and negative if displaced to the left. Also called a… … Aviation dictionary
Gabriel Voisin — (February 5, 1880 ndash; December 25, 1973) was a French aviation pioneer.He was born at Belleville sur Saône, France, and his brother Charles, two years younger than he, was his best friend. When his father abandoned the family, his mother,… … Wikipedia

Flight 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… … Wikipedia
Stability 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… … Wikipedia
Tait-Bryan rotations — The Tait Bryan rotations, named after Peter Guthrie Tait and George Bryan. are three elemental rotations about each one of the principal axes of a body (but not necessarily the principal axes of inertia). For a craft moving in the positive x… … Wikipedia
Flight 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 … Wikipedia

Rotation matrix — In linear algebra, a rotation matrix is a matrix that is used to perform a rotation in Euclidean space. For example the matrix rotates points in the xy Cartesian plane counterclockwise through an angle θ about the origin of the Cartesian… … Wikipedia
Euler angles — The Euler angles were developed by Leonhard Euler to describe the orientation of a rigid body (a body in which the relative position of all its points is constant) in 3 dimensional Euclidean space. To give an object a specific orientation it may… … Wikipedia
