  2. Washout (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    He thus suggests that birds do not utilise vertical stabilisers, since they do not need to counteract adverse yaw caused by lift-induced drag. [1] Washout is also found in gliders [2] and hang gliders. [3] In helicopters, blade twist is used to reduce lift towards the blade tip, thus reducing unequal rotor lift distribution. [4]: 2–9

  3. Quadcopter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadcopter

    For small drones, quadcopters are cheaper and more durable than conventional helicopters due to their mechanical simplicity. [23] Their smaller blades are also advantageous because they possess less kinetic energy, reducing their ability to cause damage. For small-scale quadcopters, this makes the vehicles safer for close interaction.

  4. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobatic_maneuver

    The UK Utterly Butterly display team perform an aerobatic maneuver with their Boeing Stearmans, at an air display in England. Aerobatic maneuvers are flight paths putting aircraft in unusual attitudes, in air shows, dogfights or competition aerobatics. Aerobatics can be performed by a single aircraft or in formation with several others. Nearly ...

  6. Six degrees of freedom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_freedom

    First-person shooter (FPS) games generally provide five degrees of freedom: forwards/backwards, slide left/right, up/down (jump/crouch/lie), yaw (turn left/right), and pitch (look up/down). If the game allows leaning control, then some consider it a sixth DOF; however, this may not be completely accurate, as a lean is a limited partial rotation.

  7. 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 ...

    In March, a mother was horrified to find a pedophile symbol on a toy she bought for her daughter. Although the symbol was not intentionally placed on the toy by the company who manufactured the ...

  9. Vortex ring state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_ring_state

    The signs of VRS are a vibration in the main rotor system [8] followed by an increasing sink rate and possibly a decrease of cyclic authority. [9]In single rotor helicopters, the vortex ring state is traditionally corrected by slightly lowering the collective to regain cyclic authority and using the cyclic control to apply lateral motion, often pitching the nose down to establish forward flight.
