How do you make airplanes yaw?

21.8k Brendorkus  4.9 years ago

So, some people like SledDriver have been making these sick planes with curvy designs that go literally thousands of miles an hour. They are so maneuverable and despite how much I reverse engineer them, I can’t find anything. So, if anyone knows how to make my airplanes yaw, please tell me.

    • To increase maneuverability in general, reduce wing loading. Scaled wings really help with this.
    • If you want more yaw authority, make your rudder control surface bigger and maximise the distance between it and the airplane's center of mass. The longer the moment arm, the greater the force (lever principle).
