ROTATE In flight, any aircraft will rotate about its centre of gravity, a point which is the average location of the mass of the aircraft.
Rotate the airplane in the yaw-wise direction by the specified heading angle.
Now rotate the card to the 045° heading and the needle remains at the 060° bearing.

Swivel or rotate slightly. The tail wheel on tail draggers may be allowed to just caster. This has the added benefit of not feeding ground input back into the rudder servo mechanism.

This is easy: rotate the radial dial with the OBS knob until the pointer is centered and the flag says TO. Easy huh? The top radial says the direction to fly TO the station and the bottom (reciprocal radial) indicates the radial you are on.
Monocopters that rotate entirely had no practical purpose prior to 2003, but, in part due to Graham's book, that would change. Patent 7,104,862[21] was awarded in 2006 to Michael A. Dammar of Vera-Tech Aero RPV Corp.
In accordance with Newton's law of action and reaction, the helicopter fuselage tends to rotate in the direction opposite to the rotor blades. This effect is called torque. Torque must be counteracted and or controlled before flight is possible.
The blade in such a design rotates in pitch about a bearing, aligned in a radial direction, which can be a roller bearing stack or a composite flexure.
Caster - To swivel or rotate slightly.
Category I (CAT I) - An ILS facility providing operation down to a 200 foot decision height and an RVR of not less than 2,400 feet.
-Since there are three axes or main directions about which an airplane may turn or rotate it follows that three controlling devices are required.
The stainless-steel mainfold tubes are fabricated from 316L stainless-steel tubing having a 90 degree elbow at the inlet and another 90 degree elbow rotated at right angles at the exit end.
Forces, Torques, and Motion As an object moves through space it translates and rotates. The translations are in direct response to forces on the object. The rotations are in response to torques on the object.
In this case, if you try to turn the rotor system with the engine, the equal and opposite reaction called for by Sir Issac Newton will cause the entire helicopter to rotate in the opposite direction.
ROTARY ENGINE - A powerplant that rotates on a stationary propeller shaft.
This causes the airplane to rotate around its middle while it descends at a high rate of speed. When it's done on purpose, it is a precision maneuver, with the pilot trying to get the airplane to rotate an exact number of turns from entry to exit.
The mass of air which surrounds the earth and rotates with it. International Standard Atmosphere is an imaginary condition of the atmosphere to which the performance of all aeroplane is referred for exact comparison.
Then the aircraft is rotated about the main wheel axle so that the nose wheel rests on the elevated surface. The angle of rotation (Φ) is measured by the inclinometer.
The ailerons rotate the airplane about the longitudinal axis. While on the ground checking the aileron control movement, the yoke could be rotated nearly 180 degrees left to right.
FEATHERED PROPELLER- A propeller whose blades have been rotated so that the leading and trailing edges are nearly parallel with the aircraft flight path to stop or minimize drag and engine rotation.
Propeller means a device for propelling an aircraft that has blades on an engine-driven shaft and that, when rotated, produces by its action on the air, a thrust approximately perpendicular to its plane of rotation.
The skid has the added advantage of protecting the tail from overzealous students who rotate or flare too aggressively—a fairly easy mistake to make considering the large stabilator surface.
Even if the pilot rotates the plane at the correct moment, the plane will still begin to drift with the wind as soon the crab angle is reduced, so the landing gear will have to absorb some side load on touchdown.
gyroscope - A comparatively heavy wheel mounted on a spinning axis which is free to rotate about one or both of two axes perpendicular to each other and to the spinning axis.
On the takeoff roll with two notches of flaps (15 degrees) and 2,700 rpm at full throttle, the tail came off the ground at about 40 mph; we rotated at 45 mph and were airborne by 50 mph.
They can force an airplane to increase their rotate speed (lift-off speed) and tailwind can also force and aircraft coming in to land to increase their landing speed.
FULLY-FEATHERING PROPELLER - One in which the blades can be rotated so that the leading-edge of each faces the oncoming airstream. This reduces drag if an engine has to be stopped in flight.
FUSELAGE - The body structure of an aircraft.
Whenever the attitude of the airplane changes in flight (with respect to the ground or other fixed object), it will rotate about one or more of these axes. Think of these axes as imaginary axles around which the airplane turns like a wheel.

A rotorcraft whose rotors are not engine-driven, except for initial starting, but are made to rotate by action of the air when the rotorcraft is moving; and whose means of propulsion, consisting usually of conventional propellers, ...
Gimbaled inertial sensor.

Roll A maneuver in which an aircraft rotates about its longitudinal axis.
Thus, if a pilot rotates the control yoke or stick, to the left, the left aileron deflects upward and the right aileron defects downward, causing the aircraft to roll, or bank, to the left.
Taildragger - 1. An old pilot after a long flight. 2. A young pilot who over-rotates a tricycle gear aircraft on takeoff or landing.
Use Permatex Antiseize to install together any aluminum parts that must fit tight, especially elevator tube plugs which fit tight. They never seize. This prevents the aluminum from galling into each other and allows you to rotate the plugs freely for ...
The airplane will autorotate at 80-85 KIAS and fly it-self off. Leave your gear down. When you're airborne, reduce power to 2300 rpm for your climbout (note that your VSI (Vertical Speed Indicator) will show a climb of about 500 FPM).
1493, Leonardo da Vinci first sketched a semi-practical machine, named in his "Codice Atlántico", that could be described as an "aerial screw". He wrote that he made small flying models but could not stop the rotor from making the whole craft rotate.
When the airspeed reaches a certain predetermined point known as rotation speed, the pilot manipulates panels on the tail of the aircraft to rotate the nose of the plane upward. This creates even stronger lift and the plane leaves the ground.
