Talk:Yaw angle

This appears to be the angle between the body longitudinal axis and the velocity vector, projected on to the horizontal plane. Isn't this the sideslip angle? Yaw more usually refers to orientation with respect to inertial axes. Gordon Vigurs 07:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the above, and edited it to remove what was an explanation of sideslip. I still don't like the explanation much, and will try to get back and write a concise explanation later.Andy Ross 09:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To my non-aviatorly self, it's odd to find this article but not AFAICT analogous articles for roll and pitch; and it doesn't seem that there's anything here that really deserves its own article and couldn't be merged into Tait-Bryan angles. Is there a reason for the separate treatment? 4pq1injbok (talk) 07:15, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the merge request. Added merger template. --Juansempere (talk) 11:44, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am looking at Wikipedia through the DBpedia lense whose goal is to provide a semantic web view of Wikipedia content. For semantically enabled applications, it is very useful to be able to point to individual concepts (such as yaw angle) separately (via their URI) rather than to a more general article. I'm thus thinking of reviving this page and create similar ones for pitch and roll angles. Of course, all three pages will keep referencing Euler_angles#Tait–Bryan_angles and Aircraft_principal_axes. What do you think? --Sensiasoft (talk) 17:18, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
