Definitions
- Propulsion assembly for an aircraft provided with a propeller and a device for cyclic pitch of the propeller blades and method for regulating the cyclic pitch of the propeller blades
- the present disclosure relates to a propulsion unit for an aircraft provided with a propeller and a device for cyclic pitch of the propeller blades and a method for regulating the cyclic pitch of the propeller blades.
- aircraft propulsion unit provided with a propeller designates all gas turbine devices producing thrust necessary for the propulsion of an aircraft, in particular an airplane, by reaction to the high-speed ejection of gas, essentially by the propeller.
- propeller designates an unducted fan rotor.
- Aircraft propulsion units provided with at least one propeller are also known by the English terms “open fan” or “unducted fan”.
- This 1P stress (or 1 P moment) is the result of a pressure differential exerted by the incident air flow on the propeller blades, linked to the rotation of the propeller. Indeed, since the incident air flow is generally not parallel to the axis of rotation of the propeller, a pressure differential is exerted by this air flow on the diametrically opposed blades of the propeller. This generates a resulting stress on the entire propeller, as well as on the shaft carrying the propeller and on the entire drive energy transmission chain to the propeller. This stress is significant and must be taken into account for the dimensioning of the engine.
- the propellers and the power transmission chain of aircraft engines must generally be particularly resistant from a mechanical point of view, and are sometimes provided with a cyclic, active or passive timing mechanism (see for example FR2997138, FR3067415 or FR3101664), but all this can significantly penalize the mass of the engine, and therefore the efficiency of the engine. There is therefore a need in this sense, for optimizations.
- One embodiment relates to a propulsion assembly for an aircraft, the propulsion assembly extending along an axis and comprising a propulsion module having a propeller provided with blades, a rectifier, and a propeller shaft configured to drive the propeller in rotation, the blades of the propeller being wholly or partly made of composite material; a gas generator having a drive shaft; a speed reduction device coupling the drive shaft and the propeller shaft in rotation, and configured to drive the propeller shaft at a rotational speed lower than the rotational speed of the drive shaft; and a device for cyclic timing of the propeller blades.
- the cyclic timing device is on the one hand associated with a stator in the propulsion assembly and on the other hand associated with the propeller which is connected to the propeller shaft associated with the reduction device.
- upstream and downstream are defined relative to the normal flow direction of the fluid (from upstream to downstream) through the propulsion assembly.
- the axial direction corresponds to the direction of the axis of the propulsion assembly
- a radial direction is a direction perpendicular to the axis.
- the azimuthal or circumferential direction corresponds to the direction describing a ring around the axial direction.
- the three axial directions, radial and azimuthal correspond respectively to the directions defined by the coast, the radius and the angle in a cylindrical coordinate system.
- the adjectives "inner”/"inner” and “outer”/”outer” are used in reference to a radial direction so that the inner part (i.e. radially inner) of an element is closer to the axis than the outer part (i.e. radially outer) of the same element.
- propulsion unit means “propulsion unit for aircraft”.
- cyclic timing device means “device for cyclic timing of propeller blades”.
- a rectifier is a stationary bladed wheel rotating around the axis of the propulsion unit (i.e. the rectifier is a stator), the propeller being a mobile bladed wheel rotating around the axis of the propulsion unit (i.e. the propeller is a rotor).
- the rectifier generally arranged downstream of the propeller, has the function of straightening the air flow downstream of the propeller along the axis.
- the gas generator may be a single, double or triple body gas generator, and comprises from upstream to downstream, along the axis, a compressor (or compressor section), a combustion chamber, and a turbine (or turbine section).
- the term “composite material” designates a material comprising reinforcing fibers, for example long reinforcing fibers, for example with a length greater than or equal to 1 cm (one centimeter), embedded in a matrix of polymeric material, for example an epoxy resin.
- the fibers may comprise strands of carbon fibers.
- the fibers may comprise strands of glass fibers within strands of carbon fibers. Examples of such materials are described in EP2588758, WO2022018353 or W02022208002.
- 3D woven or laminated blades are considered to be blades made of composite material.
- Each blade of the propeller may be entirely of composite material, or may comprise a portion, for example the airfoil, of composite material, and another portion, for example the root and/or an internal spar extending longitudinally from the root inside the airfoil, of another material, for example metal.
- the pitch or pitch angle of a blade corresponds to the angle made by a chord of the blade, the chord being an abstract geometric segment extending, at a given height of the aerodynamic profile, between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the blade, with the axis of rotation of the propeller within which the blade is mounted.
- a cyclic pitch device is a device configured to adjust the pitch of each blade of the propeller as a function of its angular position about the axis of the propeller, during rotation of the propeller about its axis.
- the cyclic pitch of the blades is different from a possible collective pitch of the blades in that it is specific to each of the blades and different for each of the blades of the propeller, at least for the adjacent blades within the propeller.
- a collective pitch corresponds to a pitch common to all the blades of the propeller.
- a cyclic pitch angle can be considered as a compensation or correction pitch angle, specific to each blade taken individually and depending on the angular position of the blade about the axis of rotation of the propeller, of a collective pitch angle (fixed or variable) common to all the blades.
- a cyclic timing device may be configured to adjust only the cyclic timing of the blades, or to adjust the cyclic timing and an optional collective timing of the blades.
- a cyclic timing device may be separate from an optional collective timing device, or may also form a collective timing device.
- the cyclic timing device makes it possible to significantly reduce the mechanical stresses on each of the propeller blades linked to the 1 P constraints, thanks to which it is possible to use blades made entirely or partly of composite material, having a different resistance from a mechanical point of view than that of more traditional materials such as metal, and lighter.
- the combination of the use of a cyclic timing device and blades entirely or partly made of composite material creates a synergy which leads to a reduction in the mechanical stresses generated by the 1 P constraints within the chain of transmission of the engine torque to the propeller, which allows a more favorable dimensioning of the various elements involved in terms of mass, and therefore improves the efficiency.
- This also allows for better balance of the aircraft on which the propulsion unit is mounted, for example by specifically managing the overhang of the propulsion unit in relation to the wing which supports it on the aircraft.
- the propeller shaft may be coaxial with the drive shaft.
- the axis of the propeller shaft and the axis of the drive shaft can be coaxial and coincident with the axis of the propulsion unit.
- Such a configuration makes it possible to use a simpler external casing of the gas generator with a relatively reduced mass. Furthermore, the stability of the air flow The gas generator feed air flow is improved while the part of the propeller blades radially closer to the axis performs a first compression of the gas generator feed air flow, upstream of the gas generator, which improves efficiency.
- the propeller blade cyclic timing device may comprise exactly three or four cylinders.
- the cylinders may be of the “single chamber” or “double chamber” type. All cylinders may be of the same type, but not necessarily. Generally, they are associated with a stator in the propulsion assembly and make it possible to control a movement associated with the propeller in the cyclic pitch device of the propeller blades via members rotating in correlation with the propeller shaft.
- Such a number of cylinders allows optimization of the mass of the cyclic wedging device while ensuring a satisfactory level of safety. Indeed, three cylinders are sufficient to ensure the operation of the cyclic wedging device. For example, if at least one of these three cylinders (therefore providing exactly three cylinders) is of the “double chamber” type, a certain redundancy is obtained that is sufficient to ensure the required availability of the cyclic wedging device with an acceptable impact on the overall mass of the system.
- a fourth cylinder (therefore providing exactly four cylinders) makes it possible to ensure sufficient redundancy to ensure the required availability of the cyclic wedging device with an acceptable impact on the overall mass of the system.
- the cylinders may be regularly distributed circumferentially around the axis.
- Such a configuration makes it possible to distribute the mass of the cylinders evenly within the propulsion assembly, a good distribution of the forces generated by the cylinders, and therefore an optimization which makes it possible to reduce as much as possible the capacity, and therefore the mass of the cylinders.
- the propeller blade cyclic pitching device may comprise at least one cylinder, the at least one cylinder being configured to adopt a position within a total collective pitch stroke, and to allow a cyclic pitch stroke of between ⁇ 40 mm (plus or minus forty millimeters), for example between ⁇ 20 mm (plus or minus twenty millimeters), for example between ⁇ 16 mm (plus or minus sixteen millimeters), for example between ⁇ 9.6 mm (plus or minus nine millimeters and six tenths of a millimeter), around said position.
- all the cylinders may be identical and configured to adopt a position within a total collective timing stroke, and to allow a cyclic timing stroke of ⁇ 40 mm (plus or minus forty millimeters), for example between ⁇ 20 mm (plus or minus twenty millimeters), for example between ⁇ 16 mm (plus or minus sixteen millimeters), for example between ⁇ 9.6 mm (plus or minus nine millimeters and six tenths of a millimeter), around said position.
- the cylinder may have a sliding rod, this sliding rod having a reference point, for example the distal end of the rod, and that this reference point is movable between two extreme positions defining the total stroke of the cylinder, this total stroke allowing collective setting according to a total collective setting stroke and cyclic setting for all positions of the cylinder within the total collective setting stroke.
- a sliding rod this sliding rod having a reference point, for example the distal end of the rod, and that this reference point is movable between two extreme positions defining the total stroke of the cylinder, this total stroke allowing collective setting according to a total collective setting stroke and cyclic setting for all positions of the cylinder within the total collective setting stroke.
- the cyclic timing device for the propeller blades may include a timing ring pivoted about the axis and sliding parallel to the axis.
- the shim ring is pivoted around the axis, for example to ensure the cyclic shim of the blades.
- the shim ring is sliding along the axis, for example to ensure collective shim.
- Such a ring can reduce the overall mass of the system, improve the guidance, the rigidity of the assembly and the precision of the shim.
- the shim ring may be slidably mounted on the propeller shaft or on a stator.
- the shim ring may have an internal radius of between 150 mm (one hundred and fifty millimeters) and 450 mm (four hundred and fifty millimeters), for example 225 mm (two hundred and twenty-five millimeters).
- the shim ring may be rotatable over an angular range of between ⁇ 30° (plus or minus thirty degrees of angle), for example between ⁇ 15° (plus or minus fifteen degrees of angle), for example between ⁇ 10.5° (plus or minus ten degrees of angle and five tenths of degrees of angle) for example approximately ⁇ 4.0° (plus or minus four degrees of angle).
- Such a range of ball joint movement makes it possible to ensure the efficiency required for a propulsion unit of the “open fan” type in its aerodynamic context, on an aircraft, for example an airplane, in flight, while being dimensioned as precisely as possible, which indirectly makes it possible to optimize the mass of the unit.
- a large angular range can make it possible to improve the precision of the system.
- the propeller blade cyclic pitch device may include a pressure accumulator configured to provide safety control energy to bring the blades (i.e. all blades) into feathering.
- the “flag” position of the blades corresponds to the position of the blades which minimizes the master torque of the propeller.
- the setting associated with the “flag” position is the setting which minimizes the drag of the propeller relative to the air flow passing through the propeller.
- Such a pressure accumulator is a reliable safety system (in particular due to the physical proximity between the accumulator and the actuators or cylinders, which improves the chances of the system withstanding extreme accidents such as loss of a propeller blade) and relatively light compared to other possible safety systems.
- the cyclic timing angle may be between ⁇ 30° (plus or minus thirty degrees of angle), e.g. ⁇ 6° (plus or minus six degrees of angle).
- Such a cyclic pitch angle amplitude ensures the efficiency required for a propulsion unit of the “open fan” type in its aerodynamic context, on an aircraft, for example an airplane, in flight, while being dimensioned as precisely as possible, which indirectly makes it possible to optimize the mass of the unit.
- the propeller may have a diameter measured at the leading edge greater than or equal to 1.98 m (one meter and ninety-eight hundredths of a meter) and less than or equal to 6.12 m (six meters and twelve hundredths of a meter), for example greater than or equal to 1.98 m (one meter and ninety-eight hundredths of a meter) and less than or equal to 4.30 m (four meters and thirty hundredths of a meter).
- Such blades make it possible to optimize the overall efficiency of the propulsion unit mounted on an aircraft, for example an airplane, according to the need associated with the category of the airplane (eg number of seats), which indirectly makes it possible to optimize the mass of the unit. Furthermore, a large propeller diameter can make it possible to improve the propulsive efficiency despite the increase in mass that this can represent.

- the hub-to-head ratio is the ratio of the inner radius of the propeller divided by the outer radius of the propeller.
- the inner radius corresponds to the radial distance between the axis of rotation of the propeller and the point of intersection of the leading edge of the aerodynamic profile of the propeller blades with the aerodynamic surface of the internal inter-blade platform.
- the outer radius corresponds to the distance between the axis of rotation of the propeller and the point of intersection between the leading edge of the aerodynamic profile of the propeller blades and the tip of the propeller blades (and corresponds to half the diameter of the propeller).

- the drive shaft 33A connects the low-pressure turbine 36A (or the low-pressure body 30A) to an input of the speed reduction device 40 while the propeller shaft 26 connects an output of the speed reduction device 40 to the propeller 22.
- the propeller 22 is therefore driven by the low-pressure turbine 36A (or the low-pressure body 30A) via the drive shaft 33A (or low-pressure shaft), the speed reduction device 40 and the propeller shaft 26.
- the speed reduction device 40 can be arranged, considered along the X axis, between an upstream end of the drive shaft 33A and a downstream end of the propeller shaft 36.
- the speed reduction device 40 may be a reduction device with an epicyclic gear train, for example of the “epicyclic” or “planetary” type according to the terminology sometimes used by those skilled in the art.
- Such a mechanism may comprise a single stage, two stages or more than two stages.
- the reduction device 40 may be of the planetary or "star" type and comprise a sun pinion 40A, which forms the input of the reduction mechanism 40.
- the axis of rotation of the sun pinion 40A forms the axis of rotation of the reduction mechanism 40, and may be the same as the axis X of the propulsion assembly 10.
- the sun pinion 40A is configured to be driven in rotation by the drive shaft 33A.
- a crown 40B forms the output of the reduction mechanism 40.
- the crown 40B is coaxial with the sun gear 40A and configured to rotate the propeller shaft 26 about the axis X.
- the crown 40B is fixedly mounted on a stator part 40E” of the propulsion assembly 10 and the propeller shaft 26 is driven in rotation by the planet carrier 40D” (which is therefore mobile in rotation relative to the stator part 40E” of the propulsion assembly 10, for example relative to a casing upstream of the compressor 32).
- the stator parts 40E and 40E” may correspond to different parts of the same element, or else correspond to distinct elements.
- the diameter of the crown 40B is greater than the diameter of the satellite carrier 40D, 40D” which is itself greater than the diameter of the sun pinion 40A, the satellites 40C are radially arranged between the sun pinion 40A and the crown 40B, and the rotation speed of the propeller shaft 26 is lower than the rotation speed of the drive shaft 33A.
- the primary air flow F1 flows in a vein called the “primary vein”, inside the gas generator 30, sometimes also called the primary body, passing successively through the low-pressure compressor 32A, the high-pressure compressor 32B, the combustion chamber 34, the high-pressure turbine 36B, the low-pressure turbine 36A, then through the outlet nozzle 38.
- the expansion of the combustion gases downstream of the combustion chamber 34 within the turbine 36 provides the energy to drive the high- and low-pressure turbines 36B, 36A, and therefore the shafts 33A and 33B, in rotation.
- the secondary air flow F2 sometimes also called “bypass air flow”, flows through the rectifier 24, then along the gas generator 30, outside the gas generator 30.
- This secondary air flow F2 provides by reaction the vast majority of the thrust generated by the propulsion assembly 10.
- the secondary air flow F2 can also make it possible to cool the gas generator 30 from the outside.
- the bypass ratio (or BPR) of the propulsion unit 10 is equal to the ratio of the mass flow rate of the secondary air flow F2 divided by the mass flow rate of the primary air flow F1 entering the gas generator 30.
- a high bypass ratio reflects the fact that most of the thrust is provided by the secondary flow F2, and that the energy provided by the primary flow F1 is mainly used to generate the secondary air flow F2.
- the primary air flow F1 is mainly used to generate the energy to drive the propulsion module while the secondary air flow is mainly used to generate the thrust.
- the bypass ratio of the propulsion unit 10 may be greater than or equal to 40, for example greater than or equal to 40 and less than or equal to 80.
- the propulsion assembly 10 may be configured to provide a thrust of between 18,000 Ibf (80,068 N) and 51,000 Ibf (22,2411 N), for example between 20,000 Ibf (88,964 N) and 35,000 Ibf (15,5688 N), when the propulsion assembly 10 is stationary, uninstalled, in takeoff mode in a standard atmosphere (as defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) manual, Doc 7488/3, 3rd edition) and at sea level.
- Ibf 80,068 N
- 51,000 Ibf 22,2411 N
- Ibf 88,964 N
- 35,000 Ibf 15,5688 N
- the device for cyclical setting of the blades of the propeller 50 is described in more detail with reference to FIG. 5.
- the cyclical setting device 50 may comprise a plurality of cylinders 52, for example exactly four cylinders 52 (only one cylinder being shown in FIG. 5).
- the cylinders 52 may be of the “single chamber” type.
- the cyclical setting device 50 may comprise exactly three cylinders 52, at least one of the cylinders 52, or even all of the cylinders 52, being of the “double chamber” type.
- the cylinders 52 may be regularly distributed circumferentially around the X axis, for example every 90° in the case where the cyclic setting device 50 comprises exactly four cylinders 52.
- the cylinders 52 may be configured to adopt a position P within a total collective setting stroke CT, and to allow a cyclic setting stroke CC comprised between ⁇ 40 mm, for example between ⁇ 20 mm, for example between ⁇ 16 mm, for example between ⁇ 9.6 mm, around said position P.
- the cylinders 52 are for example hydraulic cylinders.
- Each cylinder 52 can be supplied with pressurized oil via a supply line 51, specific to each cylinder 52 and independent for each cylinder 52.
- These independent supply lines 51 can extend via arms 55A of the intermediate casing 55. In other words, the supply lines 51 can bypass the speed reduction device 40 and not extend through the speed reduction device 40.
- the pressurized oil supply circuit for the cylinders 52 can be independent and distinct from the oil supply circuit for the speed reduction device 40. Such a configuration can allow a certain modularity, and facilitate maintenance as well as assembly/disassembly of the cyclic timing device 50. Furthermore, the independent supplies of the cylinders 52 make it possible to reduce the risks of failure of the entire cyclic timing device 50, and to avoid a risk of collective failure of the operability of the cylinders 52. In the event of failure of one of the cylinders 52 or its supply circuit, three operational cylinders 52 remain, which is sufficient to control the wedging ring 54 described below.
- the cylinders 52 may extend parallel to the axis X, but not necessarily.

- the shim ring 54 may comprise a ball joint ring 54A slidably mounted along the X axis on the propeller shaft 26 (see FIG. 5) or on the stator 70 (see FIG. 6), for example by means of rollers 53. These rollers 53 may be configured to allow the ball joint ring 54A to slide along the X axis and a rotation of the ball joint ring 54A about the X axis relative to the propeller shaft 26 (see FIG. 5) or relative to the stator 70 (see FIG. 6), and may thus form a sliding bearing.
- the ring 54A has a convex external surface 54A1 forming a ball joint.
- the shim ring 54 may comprise an internal ring 54B, for example forming an internal stator plate, arranged radially outside the ring forming a ball joint 54A.
- the internal ring 54B has a concave internal face 54B1 configured to cooperate by shape complementarity with the convex external surface 54A1 of the ring forming a ball joint 54A. This configuration is an example providing the ball-jointed character around the X axis of the shim ring 54.
- the internal ring 54B may have a plurality of arms 54B2 (a single arm being shown in FIGS. 5 and 6), extending axially and/or radially.
- the inner ring 54B comprises as many arms 54B2 as there are cylinders 52.
- Each arm 54B2 may be mechanically connected to a (single) cylinder 52, for example to the distal end of a cylinder 52, for example via a pivot or ball joint connection.
- the inner ring 54B may comprise an outer face 54B3 assembled with a radially inner portion of a rolling bearing 56.
- the shim ring 54 may comprise an outer ring 54C, for example forming an outer rotor plate, arranged radially outside the inner ring 54B.
- the outer ring 54C may comprise an inner face 54C1 assembled with a radially outer portion of the rolling bearing 56.
- the rolling bearing 56 may be arranged radially between the inner ring 54B and the outer ring 54C.
- the inner ring 54B and the outer ring 54C can thus be decoupled in rotation about the axis X.
- the inner ring 54B and the outer ring 54C are movable in rotation relative to each other about the axis X.
- the outer ring 54C can comprise an outer face 54C2 provided with a plurality of hooks 54C3, for example eyelets, to provide a mechanical connection between the outer ring 54C and each of the blades 22A.
- the outer ring 54C can comprise as many hooks 54C3 as there are blades 22A.
- An oil circuit not shown supplies oil to the sliding bearing formed by the rollers 53, the ball joint formed by the rings 54A and 54B, and the rolling bearing 56 of the shim ring 54.
- the shim ring 54 may have an internal radius RR, which corresponds to the internal radius of the ball-joint ring 54A, between 150 mm and 450 mm, for example 225 mm.
- the shim ring 54 may be swiveled over an angular range C2 between ⁇ 30°, for example between ⁇ 15°, for example between ⁇ 10.5°, for example approximately ⁇ 4.0°.
- Each blade 22A is pivotally mounted about its axis Z extending radially, on the hub 22B of the propeller 22, so as to be able to adjust the pitch angle of each of the blades 22A (see double arrow AC in FIGS. 5 and 6), i.e. of the profile aerodynamic 22A2 of each of the blades 22A. More particularly, in this example, the root 22A3 of each of the blades 22A is mounted on the hub 22B of the propeller 22 via a bearing 22C. It should be noted that FIGS. 5 and 6 are very schematic and that all the details of mounting the blade 22A on the hub 22B, well known elsewhere by those skilled in the art, are not shown or described.
- the hub 22B is coupled in rotation with the shaft 26 via an assembly for example by bolts 23

- the pitch control lever 22D may be connected to the pitch ring 54, via a connecting rod 25.
- the connecting rod 25 may be connected to the pitch ring 54 via a pivot connection or via a ball joint.
- the connecting rod 25 may be connected to the pitch control lever 22D via a pivot connection or via a ball joint.
- the blades 22A drive, via their respective lever 22D and connecting rod 25, the outer ring 54C in rotation about the axis X.
- the inner ring 54B being decoupled in rotation from the outer ring 54C via the rolling bearing 56, and coupled in rotation about the axis X to the stator 70 via the arms 54B2 and the jacks 52, remains stationary in rotation about the axis X.
- the outer ring 54C follows during its rotation about the axis X the inclination imposed on the inner ring 54B.
- the timing of each of the blades 22B varies during the rotation of the propeller 22.
- the blades 22A take, during their successive passage to these predefined angular positions during the rotation of the propeller 22, a timing associated with each of these predefined angular positions. This forms an example of a cyclic timing device.
- the cyclic timing device 50 may comprise a pressure accumulator 58 (see FIG. 2) configured to provide safety control energy in order to bring all the blades into the feather position.
- the pressure accumulator 58 may be a vacuum tank, configured to purge the oil from the cylinders 52 so as to bring them into a neutral configuration corresponding to the feather position of the blades 22A.
- the pressure accumulator 58 may be arranged in an enclosure E receiving the speed reduction device 40.
- all the cylinders 52 can be controlled simultaneously and according to the same instruction, so that the wedging ring 54 is moved along the X axis (see double arrow C1 in the example of FIGS. 5 and 6), whereby the setting of all the blades 22A is modified to reach an identical setting angle for all the blades 22A.
- Each cylinder 52 can also be controlled independently of one another according to a setpoint which is specific to it and different from that of the other cylinders, so that the swivel setting ring 54 pivots about a radial direction (see for example the double arrow associated with the angular range C2 in FIGS.
- the cyclic setting angle may be within ⁇ 30°, e.g. ⁇ 6° around the collective setting position.

- Figure 7 represents a graph showing, on the ordinate, the pitch angle of the blades 22A as a function of their angular position within the propulsion assembly 10 during rotation of the propeller 22.
- the position of the abscissa axis on the ordinate axis corresponds to the collective pitch angle, associated for example with the position P of the cylinders 22 within the collective pitch stroke CT.
- Curve V corresponds to an example of cyclic pitch angles within the propeller 22, associated with a predetermined movement of each of the cylinders within the cyclic pitch stroke CC, of amplitude specific to each of the cylinders 52 and distinct from that of the other cylinders 52.
- FIG. 8 shows an example of configuration of the blades 22A with cyclic pitch: by rotating with the propeller 22, the cyclic pitch of the blades 22A evolves so that each of the blades 22A successively adopts the configuration shown.
- the cyclic timing device 50 may be configured to regulate the cyclic timing of the blades 22A of the propeller 22 as a function of one or more parameters of the aircraft 100 on which the propulsion assembly 10 is mounted, for example at least one parameter among the aircraft angle of attack, the roll and the yaw.
