				For any aircraft, the turning will move around the center of  gravity.  The yaw motion is the side to side motion of an the nose of an aircraft. The turning is done my using a rudder in the back of the plane.  The rudder works by changing the airfoil shape so that the nose will turn.  The rudder turns the nose side to side but not up and down.
