Adverse yaw is the uncommanded yaw of an aircraft opposite to the direction of a roll command. It is caused by changes in the aerodynamic forces which arise from the positions of the ailerons and the motion of the aircraft. The pilot can correct this by using the aircraft's rudder to perform a coordinated turn. The amount of correction required can be reduced by careful design of the aircraft.

“[Religious establishment] is adverse to the diffusion of the light of Christianity ... [because] with an ignoble and unchristian timidity it would [be] circumscribed, with a wall of defence, against the encroachments of error.”
