When you increase the collective pitch of a rotor blade, it produces torque thus inducing a yaw in the opposite direction of the aircraft. By the same token, reducing the collective pitch reduces the amount of torque it had been inducing. This is evident in a single rotor helicopter with its need for an anti-torque rotor.
- What are the exact meanings of roll, pitch and yaw?Rotations. The words roll, pitch and yaw refer to rotations about the aircraft's various axes. They refer to rotations from the aircraft's point of view (or the pilot's point of view). Roll is a rotation about the longitudinal axis (the direction the nose is pointing). It's controlled using the ailerons.
- Why are yaw rate and pitch rate obtained by these equations?$\begingroup$ The yaw rate and pitch rate are in the frame of the airplane, not in the frame of the earth. If the pitch rate is zero, then the plane will fly a inclined circular path (one side of the circle is higher) when viewed on earth. $\endgroup$ –
- Why is "proverse" yaw better than no yaw? - Aviation Stack ExchangeFor it to be a level turn, the yaw has to be in the same direction as the angle of bank. With proverse yaw, on rolling into a turn the yaw is in the right direction. For an aileron roll, you can get zero yaw on rolling with a little use of rudder, or if the aircraft uses a mix of spoilers and ailerons. In the landing pattern, a strong proverse ...
- What is the difference between turn rate and yaw rate in aircraft?Technically, yaw rate of the rate of change of the z-axis Euler angle. As an industry standard, the Euler angle in the aviation industry is defined by the z-y-x rotation, which means that the yaw occurs first, followed by pitch, followed by bank. Therefore, yaw rate is technically exactly equal to the rate of change of heading.
