Lateral–Directional Dynamics 183
The modes are unchanged except for the addition of a zero root which indicates neu-
tral stability. The zero root results from the addition of yaw angle to the state equation
and indicates neutral stability in yaw, or heading. Interpretation of lateral–directional
dynamics is unchanged and the additional information indicates the aeroplane to have
an indeterminate yaw or heading angle. In other words, lateral–directional dynam-
ics are evaluated about the steady total velocity vector which assumes an arbitrary
direction in azimuth, yaw or heading. Interpretation of the non-zero ...
