Why don’t they use Indicated Airspeed just like the pilots who fly slower aircraft? Key Takeaways Mach number is a dimensionless ratio of true airspeed to local speed of sound. That’s the speed your airspeed indicator shows based on ram air pressure in the pitot tube. Here’s why. roughly) up to about Mach 5.0.

The aileron on the right wing deflects down, increasing the camber and creating more lift. While the tilting lift vectors are an important source of adverse yaw, drag also plays a part. Any time a wing creates lift, it creates induced drag. This drag imbalance amplifies the adverse yaw. The lift imbalance causes the roll.
