In vehicle dynamics, particularly aircraft flight dynamics, a yaw rotation or yaw motion is a rotation around the yaw axis of a rigid body; it changes the direction it is pointing to the left or right of its direction of motion. The yaw rate or yaw velocity of a car, aircraft, projectile or other rigid body is the angular velocity of this rotation, or rate of change of the heading angle when the aircraft is horizontal.
