Typically the rudder is the only part of the aircraft that controls the yaw. Wind can act as a variable and affect the yaw but it is not a pilot induced or controlled movement
The rudder
In classic aircraft controls, the airplane's rudder controls yaw, the elevators control pitch and the ailerons control roll. The control handle controls rudders and elevators while ailerons are controlled by foot pedals.
Thereare three main control surfaces on an airplane, and these control the three axis of the plane. The ailerons are out on the wings and they control roll. The rudder is on the vertical stabilizer (the tail) and that controls the yaw of the airplane. Finally you have the elevators which are on the horizontal stabilizers of the airplane. the elevators control pitch. (nose up or down)
the three movements of an airplane is pitch, roll, and yaw.
Pitch, Roll and Yaw
Pitch Yaw and Bank! -For Nathan
When at high angles of attack.
Moving the rudder causes an airplane to yaw, which means the plane is remaining basically level, but is turning left or right.
Yaw, pitch, and roll. (thrust is needed for any on of these to occur)
Pitch, Roll and Yaw The Axis that is aligned with the fuselage of the airplane is the main X-axis. Rotation about this axis is called Roll. If the nose goes Up or Down this is the Pitch. Rotation about the Vertical axis is Yaw or when the tail goes from side to side.
yaw rotation is a movement around the yaw axis of a rigid body that changes the direction it is pointing, to the left or right of its direction of motion.
