A yaw damper is a device used on many aircraft (usually jets and turboprops) to damp (reduce) the rolling and yawing oscillations known as the Dutch roll mode. It consists of yaw-rate sensors and a processor that provides a signal to an actuator connected to the rudder. The use of a yaw damper helps provide a better ride for passengers by preventing the uncomfortable yawing and rolling oscillation. On some aircraft it is mandatory for the yaw damper to be operational at all times during flight above a specified altitude.
Rail vehicle
Provided is a rail vehicle that efficiently transmits, to a railway vehicle structure, an oscillating force transmitted from a bogie to an underframe via a yaw damper and a yaw damper support portion, and that has sufficient strength. The underframe includes a floor portion, a side beam, and a bolster beam. A side structure is erected on an end portion in a vehicle width direction of the underframe. The bogie supports the underframe from below the underframe. A yaw damper receiving portion is provided to the end portion in the vehicle width direction of the underframe. The yaw damper support portion is fixed to the yaw damper receiving portion. The yaw damper includes one end portion connected to the bogie and the other end portion connected to the yaw damper support portion. The yaw damper is configured to reduce yawing oscillation of the bogie. The yaw damper receiving portion is provided to extend along the side structure, the side beam, and the bolster beam.
