The yaw rate (r) is a measure of the rate at which an aircraft rotates about its vertical axis. It describes the angular velocity of the aircraft’s heading change and is a crucial parameter for controlling the aircraft’s yawing motion during flight.
- Yaw Rate (r) is the rate of rotation about the vertical axis, measured in radians per second (rad/s).
- Δψ represents the change in yaw angle (heading angle) during the time interval.
- Δt is the time interval over which the change in yaw angle occurs, measured in seconds (s).
