Normally, a plane moves along three rotational axes. “Inertia coupling” takes place when the plane inadvertently moves on two ...

CC0 Usage Conditions ApplyClick for more information. Stability and control are much more complex for an airplane, which can move freely in three dimensions. Learn about roll, pitch, and yaw. SI ...

Three new high accuracy Yaw-Pitch-Roll stages have been introduced by OES (Optimal Engineering Systems, Inc.), the YPR100-10-15-01 (stepper motor driven - pictured), the YPR100-10-15-02 (brushless ...

Thrust vectoring—essentially redirecting the plane’s exhaust flow—allows modern fighters to quickly change direction, giving them an edge in close combat.

In its most basic form, a yaw damper inhibits movement of an aircraft around its vertical axis, performing like an automated set of feet on the rudder pedals. A yaw damper pulls aircraft movement ...
