Talk:Yaw angle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This appears to be the angle between the body longitudinal axis and the velocity vector, projected on to the horizontal plane. Isn't this the sideslip angle? Yaw more usually refers to orientation with respect to inertial axes. Gordon Vigurs 07:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree with the above, and edited it to remove what was an explanation of sideslip. I still don't like the explanation much, and will try to get back and write a concise explanation later.Andy Ross 09:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
