The longitudinal axis of an airplane is an imaginary line running lengthwise from nose to tail. Movement around the longitudinal axis is referred to as "roll" and is controlled by the ailerons. Movement about the longitudinal axis results in a banked attitude of the aircraft (where one wing is higher than the other) and, combined with rudder input causes the aircraft to turn.

What is the pitch of an aircraft?
The pitch of the aircraft is the amount of rotation along the lateral axis. The lateral axis runs along the wingspan, therefore the pitch is the amount that the nose of the plane is above or below that axis.
What is meant by longitudinal dynamics of aircraft?
Longitudinal aircraft dynamics variables are (small) deviations from operating point or trim conditions state (components): u: velocity of aircraft along body axis v: velocity of aircraft perpendicular to body axis (down is positive) : angle between body axis and horizontal (up is positive) q : angular velocity of aircraft (pitch rate)
What is a roll on an airplane?
That is when the aircraft rotates around it's axis.
What is a yaw?
A yaw is the rotation of an aircraft about its vertical axis which causes the aircraft to deviate from its preferred horizontal flight line.
What is pitch in aircraft?
Pitch is a rotating movement of the body of the aircraft about the axis of the wings. Pitch is represented by rotating to tilt the aircraft up or down. Yaw is a rotation left and right, similar to turning your head to the left and right. Roll is a rotation of the aircraft about the front to rear axis. An aircraft would roll if the pilot wanted to turn it to fly upside down.
How many Italian aircraft were used by the Axis air forces in the Battle of Britain and Blitz?
No Italian aircraft or aircrews were used by the axis in the battle of Britain it was entirely a Luftwaffe affair. The Germans were always contemptuous of their Italian allies with their outdated aircraft and poorly trained personnel.
What is the latitudinal and longtitudinal of the North Pole?
0 degrees for longitude, 90 degrees latitude.
What is yaw streeing?
Specifies the side-to-side movement of an aircraft on its vertical axis.
What is a yawmeter?
A yawmeter is an instrument which measures the yaw of an aircraft, its degree of rotation about its vertical axis.
Describe three planes that are used to divide the body?
Saggital, longtitudinal, horizontal there is also mid saggital
What did the us have that the axis powers did not consider?
The US had huge production capabilities for aircraft, vehicles and explosives.
What were The Battle of Midway casualties on both sides?
Allies: 307 people killed One Aircraft Carrier One Destroyer 145 Aircraft Axis: Approximately 2,500 killed Four Aircraft Carriers One heavy cruise 228 Aircraft
