The word yaw can refer to:

Yaw angle, one of the Tait-Bryan angles, describing the heading of a vehicle or machine, and some other related elements:
- Yaw system
  Yaw system
  The yaw system of wind turbines is the component responsible for the orientation of the wind turbine rotor towards the wind.-History:The task of orientating the rotor into the wind was a complicated issue already for historical windmills. The first windmills able to rotate in order to "face" the...
  
  , component responsible for the orientation of a wind turbine towards the wind.
- Yaw bearing
  Yaw bearing
  The yaw bearing is the most crucial and cost intensive component of a yaw system found on modern horizontal axis wind turbines. The yaw bearing must cope with enormous static and dynamic loads and moments during the wind turbine operation, and provide smooth rotation characteristics for the...
  
  , one of the components to keep optimal heading in a wind turbine
  Wind turbine
  A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity, the device may be called a wind generator or wind charger. If the mechanical energy is used to drive machinery, such as for grinding grain or...

Yaw axis, vertical axis of an aircraft, and some other related elements:
- Yaw (rotation) or Aerobatic maneuver
  Aerobatic maneuver
  Aerobatic maneuvers are flight paths putting aircraft in unusual attitudes, in air shows, dog fights or competition aerobatics. Aerobatics can be performed by a single aircraft or in formation with several others...
  
  s, rotations around the vertical axis; part of roll, pitch, and yaw and an aspect of flight dynamics
  Flight dynamics
  Flight dynamics is the science of air vehicle orientation and control in three dimensions. The three critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation in three dimensions about the vehicle's center of mass, known as pitch, roll and yaw .Aerospace engineers develop control systems for...

- Yaw rate sensor
  Yaw rate sensor
  A yaw rate sensor is a gyroscopic device that measures a vehicle’s angular velocity around its vertical axis. The output is usually in degrees per second or radians per second. The angle between the vehicle's heading and vehicle actual movement direction is called slip angle, which is related to...

Yaw drive
Yaw drive
The yaw drive is an important component of the horizontal axis wind turbines' yaw system. To ensure the wind turbine is producing the maximal amount of electric energy at all times, the yaw drive is used to keep the rotor facing into the wind as the wind direction changes. This only applies for...
