Talk:Yaw, pitch, and roll/Archive 1

New entries for helicopters and parapente?[edit]

There are at least two kind of air vehicles not included here: Helicopters and paragliderss. should we introduce them in this article or as a section inside aircraft flight dynamics? By now I have moved Flight Dynamics (aircraft) to Flight Dynamics (fixed wing aircraft) and I have provided a link to the article about general aircrafts

Edited lead[edit]

Kept original lead and added to it: In fixed-wing aircraft, there are three critical flight dynamic parameters. These parameters occur in three dimensions as angles of rotation about the vehicle's center of mass. These angles are known as roll, pitch, and yaw.^[1]

Spacecraft flight dynamics involve three forces: propulsive (rocket engine), gravitational, and lift and drag (when traveling through the earths or any other celestial atmosphere).^[2] Because aerodynamic forces involved with spacecraft flight are very small, this leaves gravity as the dominant force.

^ Depending on the vehicle's mass distribution, the effects of gravitational force may also be affected by attitude (and vice versa), but to a much lesser extent.

Proposed Addition: term "Satellite Attitude Dynamics"[edit]

The final sentence ... "Also, most of a spacecraft's flight time is usually unpowered, leaving gravity as the dominant force." could benefit from a follow-up summation. That to distinguish the subject of flight dynamics for spacecraft and satellites during orbital flight, the discipline for spacecraft control is generally referred to as "Saltellite Attitude Dynamics". The remainder of the general article is a good intro and branching page for the subject for both atmospheric flight control (flight dynamics) and orbital attitude control (satellite attitude dynamics).
