While HTV is busy working on new content, check out some of our old videos from a few years back. This Axes of Flight video was first published back in December 2012.

This video explains the three axes of flight – vertical (yaw), lateral (pitch) and longitudinal (roll) axes with real-world examples in an R22 helicopter.
