Never kissed a principle before couple teachers but no principles. lol.
Thanks guys just trying to learn what some of the common used words to describe stuff on here actually means. Now YAW i don't know about either. That is what I do when I am tired lol.
yaw is an aerodynamic term.
I know, most aerodynamic terms are usually hard to spell. But that one is easy to spell and not really hard to explain. And while I'm at it...........
An airplane rotates around three axes. (To keep you from asking, "axes" is the plural of the geometry term "axis" and if you don't know, look it up. We're trying to kiss this off, here.)
If the nose goes up or down, it's changing it's pitch axis. And that's called pitching.
If the airplane rolls, it's doing it on it's roll axis. And that's called rolling.
And taa daa..... If it's nose moves to either side, that's yaw and is being done on the yaw axis.
Simple enough for even a principal to understand? Most basic principles are.
