Module 8. Basic aerodynamics

During flight, an aircraft is yawing to the right. The aircraft would have a tendency to fly

  • right wing low.
  • left wing low.
  • nose up attitude.

Explanation

When the aircraft yaws to the right, the left (outer) wing travels faster through the air than the right, so it generates more lift and rises. As the left wing rises the right wing drops, giving a right-wing-low tendency. This coupling of yaw into roll is the basis of the further-roll effect that contributes to spiral and Dutch-roll behaviour.
