English term or phrase: when it yaws.
For example, I learned the function of the four strokes of the internal combustion engine cycle that powers automobiles. I also learned different kinds of object-motion, and the concept of the center of gravity. I even did a class project on the motion of airplanes. My analysis included the calculation of the center of gravity, the centripetal force when an airplane makes a turn, and the torque generated when it yaws.

quand il dérape


Explanation:
Le dérapage est caractérisé par une dissymétrie aérodynamique entre les deux demi-ailes qui génère des effets secondaires sur les axes de tangage et de roulis (couples)

En 1968, il y a presque 50 ans, on parlait encore et déjà de "VOL Dérapé"

neutral  Schtroumpf: Un avion qui dérape en volant ? C'est nouveau... // Sachant que la traduction classique de yaw est mouvement/couple de lacet, j'attends vos sources pour comprendre de quoi vous voulez parler.

  -> Non, c'est pas nouveau... C'est pour cela qu'il y a une bille qui permet l'équilibre selon l'axe de 'lacet' par une action sur le gouvernail de direction, donc une absence de dérapage.

Reference: WHAT ARE ROLL, PITCH, AND YAW?

Reference information:
Roll, Pitch, and Yaw
HOW IS CONTROLLING AN AIRPLANE DIFFERENT THAN CONTROLLING A CAR OR BOAT?

Stability and control are much more complex for an airplane, which can move freely in three dimensions, than for cars or boats, which only move in two. A change in any one of the three types of motion affects the other two.

WHAT ARE ROLL, PITCH, AND YAW?

Imagine three lines running through an airplane and intersecting at right angles at the airplane’s center of gravity.

Rotation around the front-to-back axis is called roll.
Rotation around the side-to-side axis is called pitch.
Rotation around the vertical axis is called yaw.
