* Yaw-Wise Inertia
Example 4: Consider a long, thin, single-engine biplane carrying lots of cargo. Since it has a rather short wingspan, there will be rather little twisted lift, i.e. rather little steady adverse yaw.

Yaw
A 'side-to-side' rotation of an aircraft around the vertical axis. This effect is produced by the rudder.
Yaw Control ...
Yaw - in which the nose of the airplane moves left or right in the aircraft's frame of reference. This is typically controlled by the rudder at the rear of the airplane*.
yaw

Yaw Rotation of an aircraft about its vertical axis, i.e., nose left or right
Yoke The control wheel of an aircraft, operated much like a car's steering wheel. It is used to control the ailerons and elevator.
Yaw Axis The airplane axis controlled by the rudder. Yaw is illustrated by hanging the airplane level by a wire located at the center of gravity. Left or right movement of the nose is the Yaw movement.
YAW - Of the three axes in flight, this specifies the side-to-side movement of an aircraft on its vertical axis, as in skewing. Compare PITCH and ROLL.
YOKE - The control wheel of an aircraft, akin to a automobile steering wheel.
Yaw
A description of the movement of the nose of an aircraft from side to side, or left and right. Yaw motion is controlled by the vertical stabilizer and the rudder.
r = yaw rate which is approximately equal tot be rate of turn
V = flight velocity
δa & δr = the aileron and the rudder deflections respectively. ...
Adverse Yaw - Yaw generated when the ailerons are used. The lifting wing generates more drag, causing an airplane to yaw (or turn) toward it.
yaw - A rotational motion in which the aircraft turns around its vertical axis. This causes the aircraft's nose to move to the pilot's right or left. Pushing the right rudder pedal will tilt the rudder to the right.
YAW - Movement of an aircraft about its vertical axis, representing movement of its tail unit to port or starboard, to change the aircraft's heading.

Good yaw control can easily be achieved with an "all flying rudder" (see again figure 2). This relatively large moving vertical surface gives plenty of control in a crosswind, in the air as well as on the ground.
adverse yaw
During the time that the ailerons are activated, an unwanted effect occurs. In the left turn shown above the pilot turns the control wheel to the left, raising the left aileron, and lowering the right aileron.

For instance, if the helicopter is drifting right, the right pedal could be pushed to yaw the helicopter nose to the right until it is now aligned with the direction the helicopter is moving.

Aircraft controls where the pilot's commands (bank, yaw.) are transmitted to control surfaces electronically or via fiber optics, instead of mechanical linkage. Also called FBL (Fly-By-Light).
FDR: Flight Data Recorder.
The trick is to turn to-ward any deviation; that is, if the needle is to the right of center, yaw right a degree or two, if the needle is to the left of center, yaw left.
These are felt in roll and yaw and are the most dangerous during takeoff and landing where there is not enough altitude to recover.
Aircraft Yaw Motion A yaw motion is caused by deflecting the rudder which causes the aircraft nose to move side to side.
Yaw is controlled by tilting its rotors in opposite directions. Roll is provided through differential power or thrust. Pitch is provided through rotor cyclic or nacelle tilt.
This is done to compensate for the adverse yaw that results from the use of ailerons. Further, to prevent the aircraft from continuing to roll, the pilot must use opposite ailerons in order to maintain the angle of bank that is desired.
This causes the aircraft nose to yaw left if the main rotor turns counterclockwise. During a takeoff where power is constant, the pilot must apply right pedal as speed increases to correct for the left yaw tendency. Paul Cantrell

This motion is yaw. Like the other primary control surfaces, the rudder is a movable surface hinged to a fixed surface which, in this case, is the vertical stabilizer, or fin.
Pitch, yaw and roll forces seem equivalent and harmonious. The rudder helps coordinate things, but it isn't a major factor in comfy flying.
Ailerons and rudder are not interconnected, and when banking into a turn, the nose will yaw opposite the direction of the turn (adverse yaw) unless positive rudder control is exercised. Control cables are stainless steel for corrosion protection.
It detects movement in the roll, pitch, and yaw axes that pilots know so well.
Pedal: A flight control operated by pushing with feet, primarily to control yaw via the rudder in fixed-wing aircraft or thrust to tail rotor in rotary-wing aircraft; pedals are automatically controlled in modern aircraft.

A control surface, usually installed on the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer, which controls the yaw motion of the aircraft - that is, the motion of the nose of the aircraft left and right.

An aircraft's stability is expressed in relation to each axis:
lateral stability (stability in roll), directional stability (stability in yaw)
and longitudinal stability (stability in pitch).
While it's maybe not the most aesthetically pleasing, the square fuselage is very simple to build and helps to provide good yaw stability and spin dampening (resistance) due to its flat sides and distinct corners.
