The proper use of the term "Dutch Roll" applies to a characteristic of
the lateral stability of an aircraft, i

One of the more famous aircraft subject to Dutch Roll was the Northrop
YB-49 turbojet Flying Wing bomber. The military test pilot Robert
Cardenas (who took over the project after Glen Edwards was killed)
recalled that the bombardier used to get seasick from the
oscillations.

(The YB-49 is cited as the predecessor of the B-2 Spirit stealth
bomber, because it was from Northrop and had the identical span. In
fact, the B-2 more closely suggests the German "nurflugel" designed by
the Horten brothers. www.warbirdforum.com/edwards.htm )
