  2. Quadcopter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadcopter

    This resulted in the quadcopter configuration becoming popular for small unmanned aerial vehicles. With their small size and maneuverability, these quadcopters can be flown indoors as well as outdoors. [1] [22] For small drones, quadcopters are cheaper and more durable than conventional helicopters due to their mechanical simplicity. [23]

  3. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    The damping term is dominated by the product of the roll damping and the yaw damping derivatives, these are both negative, so their product is positive. The Dutch roll should therefore be damped. The motion is accompanied by slight lateral motion of the center of gravity and a more "exact" analysis will introduce terms in Y β {\displaystyle Y ...

  4. 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 horizontal.

  5. Axes conventions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axes_conventions

    In case of land vehicles like cars, tanks etc., which use the ENU-system (East-North-Up) as external reference (World frame), the vehicle's (body's) positive y- or pitch axis always points to its left, and the positive z- or yaw axis always points up. World frame's origin is fixed at the center of gravity of the vehicle.

  6. Basic fighter maneuvers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_fighter_maneuvers

    The development of BFM began with the first fighter aircraft, during World War I, then continued with each following war, adapting to the changing weapons and technologies. Basic fighter maneuvers consist of many varying tactical turns, rolls, and other actions to get behind or above an enemy, before the opponent can do the same.

  7. Tail rotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_rotor

    The tail rotor system rotates airfoils, small wings called blades, that vary in pitch in order to vary the amount of thrust they produce.The blades most often utilize a composite material construction, such as a core made of aluminum honeycomb or plasticized paper honeycomb, covered in a skin made of aluminum or carbon fiber composite.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerorozvidka_R18

    The R18 is a Ukrainian unmanned combat aerial vehicle designed to attack enemy targets with ammunition.It was developed by Ukrainian organization Aerorozvidka.The R18 is in service with the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine in the Russo-Ukrainian War, which has been ongoing since 2014.

  9. Helicopter flight controls - Wikipedia

    The collective changes the pitch angle of all the main rotor blades collectively (i.e., all at the same time) and is independent of their position in the rotational cycle. Therefore, if a collective input is made, all the blades change equally, and as a result, the helicopter increases or decreases its total lift derived from the rotor.
