Roll Moment




In Aeronautics , the roll moment is the aerodynamic Force applied at a distance from an aircraft's center of mass that causes the aircraft to undergo Angular Acceleration about its roll axis, which is usually defined as the longitudinal axis. A roll moment can be the result of wind gusts, control surfaces such as Ailerons , or simply by flying at an Angle Of Attack . See Flight Dynamics .
