A very basic question
Hi guys,
Unlike the elevators and rudder that change an aircraft's pitch and yaw with no other secondary effect, why does the banking of wings by the use of ailerons not just roll an aircraft but also produces a turn (yaw)? Logically, one would expect an aircraft to keep going straight ahead even if the pilot banked the aircraft left or right. Where does the turning effect come from? Is there a website you know of that can teach me such basics, without having to bug you? Cheers, Ramapriya |
