  2. Axes conventions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axes_conventions

    RPY angles of airplanes and other air vehicles Mnemonics to remember angle names Main article: aircraft principal axes Coordinates to describe an aircraft attitude (Heading, Elevation and Bank) are normally given relative to a reference control frame located in a control tower, and therefore ENU, relative to the position of the control tower on ...

  3. Rotation formalisms in three dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_formalisms_in...

    The angle θ which appears in the eigenvalue expression corresponds to the angle of the Euler axis and angle representation. The eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue of 1 is the accompanying Euler axis, since the axis is the only (nonzero) vector which remains unchanged by left-multiplying (rotating) it with the rotation matrix.

  4. Euler angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles

    The Euler angles are three angles introduced by Leonhard Euler to describe the orientation of a rigid body with respect to a fixed coordinate system. [ 1 ] They can also represent the orientation of a mobile frame of reference in physics or the orientation of a general basis in three dimensional linear algebra .

  5. Davenport chained rotations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davenport_chained_rotations

    The angles of rotation are called Davenport angles because the general problem of decomposing a rotation in a sequence of three was studied first by Paul B. Davenport. [1] The non-orthogonal rotating coordinate system may be imagined to be rigidly attached to a rigid body. In this case, it is sometimes called a local coordinate system.

  6. Intersecting chords theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersecting_chords_theorem

    In Euclidean geometry, the intersecting chords theorem, or just the chord theorem, is a statement that describes a relation of the four line segments created by two intersecting chords within a circle.

  7. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    The various Euler angles relating the three reference frames are important to flight dynamics. Many Euler angle conventions exist, but all of the rotation sequences presented below use the z-y'-x" convention. This convention corresponds to a type of Tait-Bryan angles, which are commonly referred to as Euler angles. This convention is described ...

    Non-trivial angles between the subspaces and and the corresponding non-trivial angles between the subspaces and sum up to /. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The angles between subspaces satisfy the triangle inequality in terms of majorization and thus can be used to define a distance on the set of all subspaces turning the set into a metric space .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_FZX750

    The Yamaha FZX750 was a motorcycle made by Yamaha from the early 1980s until the mid-1990s. The US version was the FZX700 Fazer, imported only in 1986 and 1987, with a 50 cc smaller engine displacement to avoid import tariffs on motorcycles larger than 700 cc.
