caption_attribution_description: English: 6 degrees of freedom Français&#160;: Les six degrés de liberté dans un espace à trois dimensions&#160;: trois de translation et trois de rotation. Par convention les translations sont positives dans les directions Right, Forward, et Up (axes Ox, Oy et Oz). Chacun des mots Pitch (rotation autour de Ox), Roll (autour de Oy) et Yaw (autour de Oz) a été placé près de la flèche indiquant le sens de rotation positif (trièdre direct Oxyz). Nederlands: 6 graden van vrijheid Deutsch: 6 Freiheitsgraden Español: 6 6 grados de libertad
context_page_description: Pitch, yaw and roll are the three dimensions of movement when an object moves through a medium.
  The terms may be used to describe an aeroplane's movements through the air. They are also applied to fish moving through water, and spacecraft moving through space.
  There are in fact six degrees of freedom of a rigid body moving in three-dimensional space.
  As the movement along each of the three axes is independent of each other and independent of the rotation about any of these axes, the motion has six degrees of freedom.
  pitch
  nose up or tail up.
  yaw
  nose moves from side to side
  roll
  a circular movement of the body as it moves forward
  The surfaces of a plane and the fins of a fish have a similar function. They serve to adjust the object's attitude as it moves through the fluid. Submarines face the same dynamic control problems as fish do.
  The subject is often taught under degrees of freedom. This is the number of independent motions that are allowed to the body.

  As the movement along each of the three axes is independent of each other and independent of the rotation about any of these axes, the motion has six degrees of freedom (see diagram).
  pitch
  nose up or tail up.
  yaw
  nose moves from side to side
  roll
  a circular (clockwise or anticlockwise) movement of the body as it moves forward
  The surfaces of a plane and the fins of a fish have a similar function. They serve to adjust the object's attitude as it moves through the fluid. Submarines face the same dynamic control problems as fish do.
  The subject is often taught under degrees of freedom (mechanics). This is the number of independent motions that are allowed to the body.
