Section 6.13.5 update - Pitch and Roll Terms
Mon, 2021-12-20 20:44 — RV-C Admin
Justification:
This is a correction to a long-standing error in Table 6.13.5b regarding pitch and roll. As written, the pitch value refers to the driver’s side being high or low, and the roll value as the nose being high or low.
The common definition in the aircraft and automotive industries (SAE J670) is the opposite. SAE J670 defines pitch as motion about Yv (transverse) axis, and roll as motion about the Xv (longitudinal) axis.
I believe this was a typo from day one and was just never caught. I am not aware of any conflicts in production units.
