yaw, in aviation: see airplaneairplane, aeroplane, or aircraft, heavier-than-air vehicle, mechanically driven and fitted with fixed wings that support it in flight through the dynamic action of the air. .....

For example, the fixed wing surfaces of an airplane produce lift, which opposes gravity. ..... Click the link for more information. .Yaw small angular deviations, relative to the vertical axis, from the course of, for example, an aircraft, a ship, or a motor vehicle; these deviations can occur alternately toward either side. For stability of motion to be preserved, these oscillations must be damped rapidly enough so that they do not interfere with control. If the oscillations damp slowly, damping devices are used. yaw[yȯ] (mechanics) The rotational or oscillatory movement of a ship, aircraft, rocket, or the like about a vertical axis. Also known as yawing. The amount of this movement, that is, the angle of yaw. To rotate or oscillate about a vertical axis. yaw Rotated coordinate system superimposed on photo print.i. The rotation of an aircraft or a missile about its vertical axis so as to cause its longitudinal axis to deviate from the flight line or heading in its horizontal plane. Also known as yawing. ii. To rotate or oscillate about a vertical axis. iii. The rotation of a camera or a photograph coordinate system about either the photograph's z-axis or the exterior's z-axis.yaw1. the angular movement of an aircraft, missile, etc., about its vertical axis 2. the deviation of a vessel from a straight course yaw
yaw [yaw] 1. a lesion of yaws.2. the deviation of an object from its usual path (see illustration). Effect of yaw on wounding potential. Yawing is the deviation of a bullet in its longitudinal axis from the straight line of flight. Modified from Swan and Swan, 1980.mother yaw the initial cutaneous lesion of yaws; called also frambesioma.yaw (yaw), An individual lesion of an eruption of yaws.yaw Forensics The angle between the line of flight and a bullet’s long axis; bullets enter tissue and tumble once inside, rotating 180º and exiting with the base forward, which explains the large size of some exit wounds.
