A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane recently experienced a Dutch roll after takeoff. Here's what a Dutch roll is and ...

Looking at photos of plane used in World War II, you may have noticed a lot of cables and wires around them. Here's what ...

Commercial airplanes have a system known as the yaw dampener that can mitigate the effects of a Dutch roll. If an aircraft isn't equipped with a yaw dampener, pilots are trained to reduce the ...

A dramatic video caught the moment a plane, with 70 passengers onboard, battled strong winds when it was forced to make an emergency landing after an engine failed ...

A Dutch roll is a maneuver that involves simultaneous yaw (side-to-side motion across a flat horizontal plane) and roll (see-saw motion over a horizontal plane). "Dutch roll is an oscillatory ...

First of all, just what is the yaw axis? Well, if you picture an airplane with a vertical axis running up and down through its center of gravity, yaw describes the side-to-side horizontal movement ...

In this way, the system can change the roll, pitch, and yaw of the aircraft. According to DARPA, the robotic X-65 will have a distinct diamond-shaped design for greater strength. However ...

Bending the wings upward slightly, so they are at a dihedral angle, can also increase the stability of your plane. This does increase drag, so you may lose a bit of lift. Yaw refers to the ...
