To move, or cause to be moved, upon, or by means of, rollers or small wheels.
To turn over in one's mind; to revolve.
To move, as a curved object may, along a surface by rotation without sliding; to revolve upon an axis; to turn over and over; as, a ball or wheel rolls on the earth; a body rolls on an inclined plane.
To perform a periodical revolution; to move onward as with a revolution; as, the rolling year; ages roll away.
To turn; to move circularly.
To incline first to one side, then to the other; to rock; as, there is a great difference in ships about rolling; in a general semse, to be tossed about.

The oscillating movement of a vessel from side to side, in sea way, as distinguished from the alternate rise and fall of bow and stern called pitching.
Refers to the motion of the ball on the ground rotating.
The rotation of a car's body about a longitudinal axis. Also less accurately called "sway" or "lean," it occurs in corners because the car's center of gravity is almost always higher than the axis about which it rotates.
Side to side movement of a vessel.
A rotational motion in which the aircraft turns around its longitudinal axis. Pushing the control stick to the left will raise the aileron on the left wing and lower the aileron on the right wing. This will cause the airplane to roll to the left. The pilot will see the left wing tip fall and the right wing tip rise.
A maneuver in which an aircraft rotates about its longitudinal axis.
The tilting motion of a plane when one wing rises or falls in relation to the other
A term borrowed from aeronautics to describe the effective static rotation of the aircraft about an imaginary horizontal pin in line with to the direction of motion. Thus the aircraft can be moving forward but not necessarily pointing forward.
The maneuver an airplane uses to turn the airplane.
The rotation of a spacecraft about its longitudinal axis (in the along-track direction) so as to cause a side-up or side-down attitude. The roll axis is referred to as the y axis.
the rotational movement of an airplane about it's longitudinal axis. Also an aerobatic maneuver whereby the airplane is repeatedly rolled about it's longitudinal axis while trying to keep the thing in a straight line. Also something you take to the field for when you get hungry.
Sometimes called "sway" or "lean", though less accurately, it signifies the rotation of a car's body about a longitudinal axis.
rotation that occurs around a horizontal longitudinal axis through the center mass.
popupid: roll](Geometry) A measure of rotational offset in the X axis. See Also: Pitch Roll Yaw.
Rotation around the Y-axis
Rotation about an axis aligned with the direction in which the aircraft is flying. rotorcraft An aircraft that derives its lift from rotating lifting surfaces (usually called blades) sailplane" id=" sailplane" sailplane An unpowered fixed-wing heavier-than-air craft. (Also glider) ==sesquiplane An aeroplane with two wings (or pairs of wings), where one (often the lower) is significantly smaller than the other in span and/or chord.
The sideways rotational motion of a boat in rough water; compare to pitch
Transverse oscillation of a ship about its longitudinal axis. See pitch, yaw, ship motion.
can be defined as a shipping roll—a roll that is slit and ready to ship to the customer, or a jumbo roll, or reel—a roll that is just off of the paper machine prior to slitting
The rotation of a vehicle's body about a longitudinal axis, occuring while turning corners. Also called ""sway"" or ""lean"".
Up and down motion of wing tips.
"The motion of a ship about its horizontal fore-and-aft axis...more simply tilting from side to side." (Uden & Cooper)
rotary motion of an object around its own axis; "wheels in axial rotation"
a flight maneuver; aircraft rotates about its longitudinal axis without changing direction or losing altitude
move by turning over or rotating; "The child rolled down the hill"; "turn over on your left side"
move in a wavy pattern or with a rising and falling motion; "The curtains undulated"; "the waves rolled towards the beach"
move, rock, or sway from side to side; "The ship rolled on the heavy seas"
cause to move by turning over or in a circular manner of as if on an axis; "She rolled the ball"; "They rolled their eyes at his words"
a basic aerobatic maneuver, in which the plane rotates around an imaginary centerline that runs from the center of the prop shaft through the end of the fuselage
a basic pattern of right hand finger motions
a rotation about the body head-toe axis when that axis is aligned with the horizontal axis
The side-to-side movement of the ship
Caused when cornering. As a car negotiates a left hand bend, the car leans to the right due to g-forces. Also called body roll.
An angular rotation of an aircraft or spacecraft around an axis along its length (which has the effect of tipping its wings).
A rotary motion of the sprung mass of a car around the longitudinal (lengthwise) axis that results in body roll.
Side to side angular motion of a linear stage, about an axis which is parallel to the bearing system and which is in-line with the direction of travel.
Sway of a ship from side to side which may occur when underway.
Rotation about the ahead/astern axis. Not modelled for either vessel in this simulation; assumed zero.
describes the motion of a ship about her longitudinal axis; this causes the ship to rock from side to side; one of the six principal motions of a ship in waves compare heave, pitch, surge, sway, yaw
The motion of a vehicle which has been retarded at the ground level while the remainder of the vehicle continues moving forward without leaving the ground; rollover. One of the three principles axis of a vehicle; along the longitudinal (x), axis.
the sideways motion of the ship.
Rotation around the front-to-back axis.
A rotation of an aircraft around the longitudinal axis. This effect is produced by the ailerons.
The rotational movement of a vehicle about a longitudinal (X) axis.
banking or unbanking movement. Controlled by shifting of pilot's weight from side to side.
The alternating motion of a boat, leaning alternately to port and starboard; the motion of a boat about its fore-and-aft axis.
An aerobatic maneuver where the aircraft is rolled on its longitudinal axis.
Rotational movement of the body around horizontal axis of the LINE. (See also PITCH, YAW)
The angular displacement of a view along the longitudinal axis (left- right).
A lack of vertical synchronization which causes a complete TV picture to appear to rotate upward or downward.
A cylindrical component rotating in a paper machine, with different functions depending on its structure.
Rotation of an aircraft about the longitudinal axis to cause a wing-up or wing-down attitude.
An invert where the board travels in an edge over edge rotation. However, some tricks that follow that rotation aren't called Rolls, and a Back Roll has a tip over tail rotation, so it's very confusing.
The roll of the camera is its angle around the viewing axis. This cannot be edited in a navigation mode where the world up vector stays upright (walk, orbit and turntable).
Rotation of a unit about the Y axis.
Describes the side-to-side motion of a cruise ship at sea.
Rotation about an axis aligned with the direction in which the aircraft is flying. This axis is also known as the longitudinal axis.
The act of turning about the longitudinal axis of the aircraft.
The movement of a satellite, about an axis through its center of gravity, which causes the antenna footprint to move North and South.
one of the three axes of motion for an airplane; roll refers to the left and right movement of the fuselage and raises the wings of the airplane up or down
The movement of an airplane around the imaginary line that runs down the center of the aircraft from nose to tail. The tilting, sideways motion is controlled by the ailerons.
Sway of the ship from side to side.
The motion of a boat or hovercraft where the port and starboard sides move up and down relative to each other.
angular motion about lengthwise axis of the ship
to make a quick turning motion around the defender that is followed by a break to the basket.
A side-to-side motion of the boat, usually caused by waves.
Angular rotation about the longitudinal axis (plane of translation), typically the X-axis for X-Y-Z.
