The adverse yaw debate.

[Garfly]

This fairly recent video "The Rudder - it gets no Respect" from the Air Safety Institute (AOPA USA) has, I see, rekindled the debate about the real causes of adverse yaw.

 

Or rather, about the causes of the secondary effect of yaw.

 

They were wrong as Garrett pointed out. The intentional yaw with rudder creates bank but the main reason of the video was suppose to talk about the importance of the rudder (saying that pilots don't use it) but barely touched on the point of the real reason for the rudder while off the ground is to counter adverse yaw. If you don't understand adverse yaw then you don't understand how the rudder helps. That's why I talked about adverse yaw.

Good to see someone with sound knowledge of aero and flight dynamics.

If a wing moving at an oblique angle to the relative movement of the longitudinal axis of the aircraft through the air results in a yaw,

 

 

how does this plane manage to fly straight and level?
