glide, coast, slide - the act of moving smoothly along a surface while remaining in contact with it; "his slide didn't stop until the bottom of the hill"; "the children lined up for a coast down the snowy slope"

sideslip - a flight maneuver; aircraft slides sideways in the air
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) ensures the automatic correction of excessive steering, insufficient steering, sideslip and tail-swing under various driving conditions.
Our off-roading consisted of mud and steep hills with some sideslip. The vehicle managed to send power to the correct wheel so as not to be buried in wheel spin while the increased ride height helped over steep ruts.
where M is the moment, X, Y, and Z are the body forces, [V.sub.p] is velocity, S is parachute surface area, [F.sub.R] is the riser force (tension), [alpha] is attack angle, and [beta] is sideslip angle.
The ADS provides direct measurements of the aircraft true airspeed; typically connected with the ADS are the vanes for measuring the important aerodynamic angles known as angle of attack and angle of sideslip. Since the Pitot probes and [alpha]-[beta] vanes are installed on the fuselage and/or wings, they are exposed to external atmospheric agents; in general, these devices are robust to even extreme weather conditions.
Malcolm H Mort Roath, Cardiff Snow Dogs fall soundlessly as night retreats Beside that potholed Castle Street Arcade Sideslip across as Snow Dogs then sit silently Each one square jawed but a different hue These Snow Dogs like coloured Snowmen Waiting, waiting for the children to find them As the softly painted dawn caresses the day Ty Hafan where a short life is a full life Put Snow Dogs on many corners as Awareness grows as the city awakes Whispers leave people to access Ty Hafan And turn the Snow Dogs' magical numbers Into a silver wind of Ty Hafan coins Edward Tapper Birchgrove, Cardiff Doing our best to encourage cycling THIS year we have seen an increase in the number of cyclists on our roads and paths across the city.
