Aerobatic maneuver — The UK Utterly Butterly display team perform an aerobatic maneuver with their Boeing Stearmans, at an air display in England. Aerobatic maneuvers are flight paths putting aircraft in unusual attitudes, in air shows, dog fights or competition… … 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 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
Aircraft flight mechanics — In aeronautics, aircraft flight mechanics is the study of the forces that act on an aircraft in flight, and the way the aircraft responds to those forces. [Clancy, L.J. Aerodynamics . Section 14.1] Aircraft flight mechanics are relevant to… … Wikipedia
Trim tab — Trim tabs are small surfaces connected to the trailing edge of a larger control surface on a boat or aircraft. The angle of the tab relative to the larger surface can be adjusted to null out hydro or aero dynamic forces and stabilise the boat or… … Wikipedia
roll — /roʊl / (say rohl) verb (i) 1. to move along a surface by turning over and over, as a ball or a wheel. 2. to move or be moved on wheels, as a vehicle or its occupants. 3. to move onwards or advance in a stream or with an undulating motion, as… …
