Hi guys,

Unlike the elevators and rudder that change an aircraft's pitch and
yaw with no other secondary effect, why does the banking of wings by
the use of ailerons not just roll an aircraft but also produces a turn
(yaw)? Logically, one would expect an aircraft to keep going straight
ahead even if the pilot banked the aircraft left or right. Where does
the turning effect come from?

Is there a website you know of that can teach me such basics, without
having to bug you?

Cheers,

Ramapriya



When you bank, you create a horizontal component of lift. This will pull
the airplane to fly sideways. The natural weathervaning effect of the
airplane will steer the nose into the relative wind. You can help that
effect by adding rudder.

This is a good question. Even most instructors do not know the answer to
this questions.
