14.7: Sideslip Angle
This function is intended for trials concerning the sideslip angle.
Sideslipping can be caused by a gust. A sideslip flight changes the lift
distribution and hence the moment balance of the airplane.
Click into the input field 'Sideslip Angle [°]' to enter the desired value. The
dimensional unit for entered data is 'degree' [°].
Near the input field are Up/Down-buttons located. They can be used to change
the sideslip angle with mouse clicks.
A click on the right mouse button pops up a menu to set the increment between 0.00001°
and 1°.

Sideslip angle 0°.
