Sure, but that still does not explain why the airplane turns. A horizontal component of lift will make the airplane side-slip, not turn. It is the stability (weathervane effect) that makes the airplane turn. By definition, the 'weathervane effect' occurs because air exerts more pressure on one side of the object (aircraft) than the other - same definition as slipping. Therefore, are you are asserting that an aircraft turns because it is slipping? More over, it will only turn if it is slipping? Hilton
