Pic above is a still @ 1:37 of this video, of a model F-22, and shows the ailerons and the all-flying tail deflecting to command a roll. … Inertial coupling, where the nose starts to point in increasing circles at sustained high roll rates. …

Pitch, roll and yaw are rotation angles relative to the earth gravitational field. … So pitch, roll and yaw are the three rotational degrees of freedom of a rigid unrestrained body in space, determining the attitude of the body. …

Depends on the speed: it costs very little extra energy to yaw a hovering helicopter. Yawed turn. A yawed turn increases sideslip angle $\beta$, creating a sideslip velocity which results in an ae …

This site has some info on what the F-16 leading & trailing edges do during the flight - symetrically. We can see that at high speeds the wing is straight: it is at a low angle of attack, and at high …

Pitch, roll and yaw are relative to aircraft axes. Pitch means: nose up/down. Roll means: wingtip up/down. Yaw means: nose left/right. All from the pilots viewpoint. It is that simple. … The term "roll" is normally used for an intrinsic motion: axes frame attached to the moving body. Roll angle starts at any convenient zero angle. …

Well, no, I'm not aware of any aeroplanes that cannot do a full 360° roll. Ailerons are deflected, and the result is an aerodynamic rolling moment dampened by the back pressure of the air. … And yes, high wing configurations have a built-in roll reduction factor, which sometimes needs to be reduced by anhedral (wings pointing downwards). …

Explanation 2) is not an option to explanation 1). The page in the FAA handbook only points out that the rotor has 90° phase lag when applying forces for deflection. Has no consequences for the rotor …

Dutch Roll is a 2-dimenional dynamic stability issue in aeroplanes. … The pic above shows a damped dutch roll. …
