  2. Adverse yaw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverse_yaw

    Adverse yaw is the natural and undesirable tendency for an aircraft to yaw in the opposite direction of a roll.It is caused by the difference in lift and drag of each wing. The effect can be greatly minimized with ailerons deliberately designed to create drag when deflected upward and/or mechanisms which automatically apply some amount of coordinated rudde

  3. Dutch roll - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_roll

    The yaw motion is induced through the use of ailerons alone due to aileron drag, wherein the lifting wing (aileron down) is doing more work than the descending wing (aileron up) and therefore creates more drag, forcing the lifting wing back, yawing the aircraft toward it. This yawing effect produced by rolling motion is known as adverse yaw.

  4. P-factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-factor

    Propeller blade angle of attack (left) and propeller blade angle of attack change with aircraft pitch change, demonstrating asymmetrical load (right) P‑factor , also known as asymmetric blade effect and asymmetric disc effect, is an aerodynamic phenomenon experienced by a moving propeller , [ 1 ] wherein the propeller's center of thrust moves ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skid_(aerodynamics)

    However, in the beginning of a turn, when the ailerons are being applied in order to bank the airplane, the ailerons also cause an adverse yaw of the airplane. For example, if the airplane is rolling clockwise (from the pilot point of view), the airplane yaws to the left. It assumes a crab-like attitude relative to the wind.

  6. Yaw (rotation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_(rotation)

    A yaw rotation is a movement around the yaw axis of a rigid body that changes the direction it is pointing, to the left or right of its direction of motion. The yaw rate or yaw velocity of a car, aircraft, projectile or other rigid body is the angular velocity of this rotation, or rate of change of the heading angle when the aircraft is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_therapy

    Attack therapy is one of several pseudo-therapeutic methods described in the book Crazy Therapies. It involves highly confrontational interaction between the patient and a "therapist" or between the patient and fellow patients during group therapy , in which the patient may be verbally abused, denounced, or humiliated by the therapist or other ...
