Yaw

Yaw refers to the rotation of an object around its vertical axis, similar to turning your head side to side or the nose of an aircraft swinging left or right. It is one of the three primary rotational movements, alongside pitch (tilting up and down) and roll (tilting side to side). Yaw controls the direction an object is facing horizontally. In vehicles or aircraft, managing yaw helps steer or change direction. It’s crucial for maintaining proper alignment during movement, especially in navigation and control systems.
