Bank effect refers to the tendency of the stern of a ship to swing toward the near bank when operating in a river or constricted waterway. … This phenomenon depends on many parameters, such as bank shape, water depth, ship-bank distance, ship properties, ship speed and propeller action. A reliable estimation of bank effects is important for determining the limiting conditions in which a ship can safely navigate a waterway. 2, record 1, English, - bank%20effect

L'effet de bande désigne la tendance de la poupe d’un navire à se diriger vers la rive la plus près lorsque le navire se déplace sur une rivière ou dans une voie navigable restreinte. L'écoulement asymétrique autour du navire induit par la proximité des rives entraîne une différence de pression(principe de Bernoulli) entre le côté bâbord et le côté tribord. Par conséquent, le navire sera soumis à une force latérale principalement dirigée vers la rive la plus près, ainsi qu'à un mouvement de lacet poussant l'étrave vers le centre de la voie navigable. 2, record 1, French, - effet%20de%20berge

Le braquage des ailerons fait varier non seulement la portance, mais aussi la traînée de la voilure. Cette variation de traînée est dissymétrique, car la traînée due à l'aileron baissé est plus grande que celle de l'aileron levé. Il s’ensuit que l'aile dont l'aileron est baissé se trouvant freinée, l'avion tend à tourner autour de l'axe de lacet du côté de cette aile.

The turn coordinator is really two instruments. The gyro portion shows the aircraft's rate of turn--how fast it's changing direction. A ball in a tube called the "inclinometer" or "slip/skid indicator" shows the quality of the turn--whether the turn is "coordinated." 5, record 7, English, - turn%20coordinator

Plusieurs avions modernes sont équipés d’un coordonnateur de virage. Cet instrument remplace l'indicateur de virage et d’inclinaison latérale. Il fonctionne sur le même principe, mais certaines particularités de construction lui permettent de réagir non seulement au lacet mais aussi au roulis. Plutôt que de tourner autour de son axe horizontal, comme le fait l'indicateur de virage et d’inclinaison latérale, le gyroscope est incliné d’environ 35 degrés. Ainsi, lors d’un mouvement autour des axes de roulis et de lacet, la précession fait rouler légèrement le mécanisme du gyroscope. Le cardan est relié à un avion miniature sur la face de l'instrument. Le petit avion s’incline pour indiquer au pilote les taux de roulis et de lacet. [...] La bille donne les mêmes indications que celles de l'indicateur de virage et d’inclinaison latérale. 3, record 7, French, - coordonnateur%20de%20virage
