A forward slip is a maneuver in which you roll the aircraft such that the top of the wing and side of the fuselage are exposed to the oncoming air (relative wind), and you use the rudder in the opposite direction to keep the aircraft flying straight (with respect to the ground track). When properly executed, the rudder and aileron cancel each other out so you keep flying straight across the ground, but the nose of your airplane is not aligned with the direction of travel, and the top and side of your airplane is exposed to the oncoming wind, significantly increasing drag, and thus descent rate. Sounds like drifting. If I get your drift. |
