For example, a âPC Expansion Cardâ maybe the jargon used to refer to any and all expansion cards (e.g., graphic, video, sound, etc.) for your âpersonal computer.â One may also come across references to âPCI.â The latter is not a card; it is one type of expansion slot into which the expansion card maybe installed in some computers.
Anyway, the best definition of what a Yaw rate sensor can be found here.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_rate_sensor\. In layman's terms it is a sensor that is located near the middle of the vehicle, under the center arm rest console, that detects if the car is moving or sliding sideways. Like going around a corner.
We can then define the orientation of the aircraft by the amount of rotation of the parts of the aircraft along these principal axes. The yaw axis is perpendicular to the wings and lies in the plane of the aircraft centerline. A yaw motion is a side to side movement of the nose of the aircraft as shown in the animation. The yawing motion is being caused by the deflection of the rudder of this aircraft. The rudder is a hinged section at the rear of the vertical stabilizer. As described on the shape effects slide, changing the angle of deflection at the rear of an airfoil changes the amount of lift generated by the foil.
