adverse yaw
- Definição1
- A flight condition in which the nose of an aircraft starts to move in the direction opposite to that in which the turn is initiated. The downward deflected aileron, in this case, produces greater induced drag, which results in adverse yaw. Adverse yaw can be reduced by having differential or frise-type ailerons, coupling controls, using spoilers, or having slot-cum-aileron controls.

- Definição2
- A flight condition at the beginning of a turn in which the nose of the aircraft starts to move in the direction opposite the direction the turn is being made, caused by the induced drag produced by the downward-deflected tip holding back the wing as it begins to rise.
