Rolling Wings
When the aircraft is rolling, and additional term may be added that will add the wing station distance multiplied by the rate of roll to give additional angle of attack change. Equation 3 will then become
where
- is the rate of roll in rad/sec,
Note that y can be negative. This addition will introduce non-zero even coefficients in the equation which will have to accounted for.

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or wings:
“The Concord had rarely been a river, or rivus, but barely fluvius, or between fluvius and lacus. This Merrimack was neither rivus nor fluvius nor lacus, but rather amnis here, a gently swelling and stately rolling flood approaching the sea. We could even sympathize with its buoyant tied, going to seek its fortune in the ocean, and anticipating the time when “being received within the plain of its freer water,” it should “beat the shore for banks.””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“His imagination resembled the wings of an ostrich. It enabled him to run, though not to soar.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
