The terms 'yaw, roll and pitch' describe the three axis of rotation of a vehicle body (or, indeed, a vessel or aircraft).
Roll is a rotation about the longitudinal (front to rear) axis, commonly (but not always) referred to as the 'X' axis by vehicle designers. This is the motion you would notice under heavy cornering where the body leans towards the outside of the bend.
Pitch is a rotation about the lateral (left to right) axis, commonly referred to as the 'Y' axis. This is noticeable under heavy braking or harsh acceleration where the nose of the vehicle may be seen to dip or lift.
Yaw is a rotation about the vertical or 'Z' axis. Although, strictly speaking, steering a vehicle under normal conditions may be considered a yawing rotation, a yaw angle is more usually considered to be a difference between the direction of travel and the longitudinal axis of the body. This may be the case, for example, where the vehicle is skidding or drifting, or in extreme circumstances where the suspension geometry is badly misaligned and the vehicle noticeably 'crabs' as it drives along.

What is a Yaw sensor in automobiles?
A Yaw sensor is used as part of a traction control system in an automobile. It measures the angle of movement of the vehicle compared to the vehicle's heading.
What is adverse yaw?
Adverse yaw is a secondary effect of the ailerons. When the ailerons are actuated, one of its effects is an asymmetrical change in drag. In essence, when the ailerons are being used, drag is increased on both wings to a certain extent, but this drag is stronger on one side than the other. The result is that when rolling an aircraft for a turn, the aircraft will have a tendency to want to yaw in the opposite direction of the roll.
What is Shane dawson's last name?
yaw. his full name is Shane lee yaw.
How in aircraft roll causes yaw and yaw causes roll?
due to the pressure on the aileron which goes down gets more lift and very extra little drag,while on other wing the lift is spoilt and the drag greatky increased. thus we have a large rolling effect in the right direction combined with a yawing effect, also in the right direction... . . . . . this one is the right anser for rolling effect with yawing
A car part starting with the letter y?
Yaw sensor - detects the rotation of the vehicle to help with stability control systems.
What is the difference between neutral and park?
