As the aircraft rolls, adverse yaw is caused primarily by the fore-aft tilting of the lift vectors on the left and right wings.

As the airplane rolls it will continue to pitch upward, in the direction of the lift vector.

Correct placement of the lift vector during the maneuver is crucial to keep from moving ahead, relative to the opponent.

It is only during the radial (constant increase in pitch) or vertical acceleration that the lift vector is larger than the weight vector.

This creates a slightly forward-pointing lift vector for the rear (outer) section of the wing.

The ejectable balance masses shift the capsule center of mass enabling generation of a lift vector during the atmospheric phase.

Conversely, as the right wing descends, its lift vector tilts forward.

Rotational thrusters were used to change the lift vector, allowing the capsule to be steered under either automatic or manual control.

The lift vector is more or less a line perpendicular to the plane of an aircraft's wings.

So much for our cover," Brim muttered, hauling the scout around into a vertical bank toward tank and pulling off the lift vector.
