Flight controls of the Wright Flyer and 152's
akimmins asked this question on 10/1/2000:
Hi I am writing a paper on the phenomenon of adverse yaw and different methods of yountering it. I know that the wright flyer had a wing morphing flight control system mechanically linked to the rudder to counter act the yawing motion, any more information on how the system worked?
Also if possible I was told that the Cessna 152's and the de Havilland Tiger Moth also have a mechansim to counter adverse yaw would you have any more info about the effect and the methods used to counter act it would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance
Alex
