Rotation of an aircraft about its vertical axis, i.e., nose left or right
An angular deviation from ideal straight line motion, in which the positioning tables rotates around the Z (vertical) axis as it translates along its travel axis.
To turn by angular motion about the vertical axis.
The rotation of a spacecraft about its vertical axis so as to cause the spacecraft's longitudinal axis to deviate left or right from the direction of flight. The yaw axis is referred to as the z axis. Menu
The rotation of a horizontal axis wind turbine around its tower or vertical axis.
one of the three ways in which an aircraft can move. This is done by turning the rudder so the aircrafts nose will turn or yaw
The angle between the longitudinal axis of a projectile and the line of the projectile's trajectory. Yaw is usually considered to exist before a bullet achieves full gyroscopic stability.
1. The Z-axis 2. The rotation of a vehicle structure around a vertical axis.
Deviation from the vessel's intended course, often caused by rough seas.
A description of the movement of the nose of an aircraft from side to side, or left and right. Yaw motion is controlled by the vertical stabilizer and the rudder.
Side to side motion in a vehicle. The rotation of an object in a plane around a vertical axis.
or yawing To turn from side to side in an uneven course.
To swing off course, caused by the action of waves or poor steering.
an erratic deflection from an intended course
deviate erratically from a set course; "the yawing motion of the ship"
swerve off course momentarily; "the ship yawed when the huge waves hit it"
Yaw is the left or right angle of the vehicle nose, relative to the direction of motion, in the horizontal plane.
A situation where a bullet “wobbles” on its axis at a small angle to the line of flight. In yaw, a bullet's tip is normally on the axis of the path but the base is spiraling around that axis. The spin of the bullet causes it to settle into stable flight with both tip and base on the same path axis, usually within 40 to 100 yards for a rifle.
This is a description of a bullet in mid-flight, which is spinning in its very own axis. This is caused by air pressure.
The rotation about a vertical axis that passes through the car's center of gravity.
Fail to hold a straight course, side-to-side movement, which is typically caused by rough or confused sea conditions.
the rotation of an aircraft or missile about its vertical axis
A side-to-side; rotation of an aircraft around the vertical axis. This effect is produced by the RUDDER.
Rotation of the airplane about the vertical axis.
Rotation parallel to the ground. A wind generator Yaws to face winds coming from different directions. See also: Furling, Yaw Axis
To swing off course, as when due to the impact of a following or quartering sea.
To swing or steer off course, as when running with a quartering sea.
Rotation parallel to the ground. Generators Yaw to face the wind as the wind changes direction.
When a canoe swerves from its course.
Angular rotation about the vertical axis, typically the Z-axis for X-Y-Z.
The act of sheering suddenly and uncertainly from a vessel's course. It may be caused by poor steering, by the condition of the sea, or by the characteristics of the vessel's underbody or by any combination of the foregoing.
An aircraft's rotation about its vertical axis. The vertical axis is also called the yaw axis.
the left or right movement of an aircraft's nose about its vertical axis.
Oscillation of a ship about the vertical axis. See roll, pitch, ship motion.
An undesirable characteristic in airplanes. A plane that yaws is one in which the tail or nose (or both) will make undesirable side-to-side movements away from the desired flight path. See also pitch and roll.
Swinging off course, usually in heavy seas. The bow moves toward one side of the intended course.
