-== Yaw ==
-The Yaw axis is one of the three principal axes in which an aircraft or spacecraft can change orientation. A motion in the yaw axis will move the crafts nose to either side while moving the tail in the opposite direction.
-Longer aircraft/spacecraft, especially very tall launch vehicles, will have very little Yaw control without the addition of control parts.
-Placing RCS thruster blocks or movable control surfaces at the nose and tail will increase a crafts Yaw ability. Engines with thrust vectoring will also help give more control authority in the yaw axis.
