T-34C OUT-OF-CONTROL FLIGHT

Yaw Angle: Relates the displacement of the airplane centerline from some reference azimuth.

This term is normally used in wind tunnel tests and is presented here only to eliminate or

minimize the tendency to confuse it with angle of sideslip or yaw rate. Yaw angle is depicted in

Figure A-6.

Figure A-6 Yaw Angle

Yaw Rate: Rate of change of yaw angle or how fast the nose of the airplane is moving across

the horizon is measured in degrees per second (deg/sec).
