For example, a pitching moment is a vertical force applied at a distance forward or aft from the center of gravity of the aircraft, causing the aircraft to pitch up or down. Roll, pitch and yaw refer, in this context, to rotations about the respective axes starting from a defined equilibrium state. The equilibrium roll angle is known as wings level or zero bank angle, equivalent to a level heeling angle on a ship.
Definition. There are two types of modifiers in the English language: the adjective and the adverb. They have distinctly different roles, and we will examine each, in turn. First, let's look at the definition of each word. An adjective describes, or modifies a noun--a person, place, thing, or idea.
(In these examples, the modifiers are shaded, and the words being modified are bold). Modifiers As Adverbs. When a modifier is an adverb, it modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.lso, be aware that occasionally a modifier might feasibly modify two ideas in the same sentence (second example). Also, it is a very common mistake (believe it or not) for the thing being modified to be missing from the sentence (third example).
