French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / flight control | | French term or phrase: inclinaison | La référence à l'horizon de secours est faite, mais que pour le roulis (inclinaison), alors que le PF a des actions sur le manche en roulis en phase avec l'inclinaison.
I wonder if "inclinaison" translates "bank angle" here.
Thanks for your help. |
| | | inclination | Explanation:
The only reason I suggest "inclination" as opposed to the perfectly correct and equivalent bank or roll angle is that it is in parentheses, which seems to imply that the author has some doubt that the reader may be familiar with aeronautical terminology. If the reader was a physicist or mathematician, for example, then "inclination" would be immediately understood, though pedants that they are, they would probably ask "in what reference frame?". |
