How do aircraft yaw dampers ensure flight stability and safety?
If you have ever flown on a plane, you might have noticed that it sometimes moves from side to side, especially during turbulence or crosswinds. This motion is called yaw, and it can affect the stability and safety of the flight. To prevent excessive yaw, most aircraft have a system called a yaw damper, which automatically adjusts the rudder to counteract the unwanted movement. In this article, you will learn how yaw dampers work, why they are important, and what challenges they face.
