Yaw

Yaw or yaws may refer to:

== Measurement and technology == === Movement about the vertical axis === Yaw angle (or yaw rotation), one of the angular degrees of freedom of any stiff body (for example a vehicle), describing rotation about the vertical axis Yaw (aviation), one of the aircraft principal axes of rotation, describing motion about the vertical axis of an aircraft (nose-left or nose-right angle measured from vertical axis) Yaw (ship motion), one of the ship motions' principal axes of rotation, describing motion about the vertical axis of a ship (bow-left or bow-right angle measured from vertical axis) Yaw rate (or yaw velocity), the angular speed of yaw rotation, measured with a yaw rate sensor Yawing moment, the angular momentum of a yaw rotation, important for adverse yaw in aircraft dynamics
