Dutch roll is roll due to yaw in a swept wing aircraft. It is more
pronounced than that experienced in a relatively straight wing aircraft.
Also, since swept wing aircraft are more frequently flown at high altitudes
where the air is thinner and mach transitions can occur it is generally
considered only a swept wing phenomenon. see

So what is your understanding of a Dutch Roll? It is interesting to me
the various understandings of this manuever, how it is performed and
its origins.
I've got my own that I was taught by a CFI over 45 years ago and have
taught to virtually every student I've had over the years, including
helicopters.
