Angular accelerations about the pitch and roll axes can be caused separately without affecting the yaw axis.
Sometimes rudder input is applied to help assist the roll through the yaw axis, by swinging the tail over the top.
He also judiciously used the rudder pedals to keep the aircraft stable on its yaw axis.
The yaw axis is stabilized through the sweep back of the wings.
A tubular aluminum chassis was later fabricated allowing for the addition of the yaw axis of rotation.
A three-axis autopilot adds control in the yaw axis and is not required in many small aircraft.
The Dutch roll is dampened out and the aircraft becomes stable about the yaw axis.
Rudder pedals control rotation of the plane about the yaw axis.
A special form of asymmetric stall in which the aircraft also rotates about its yaw axis is called a spin.
The yaw axis, which represents the direction that the aircraft is facing relative to the wind, is stabilized through the sweep of the wings.
