How to read this

Every construct on the map is compared with every other by the meaning of its definitions, and the closest one is surfaced here. The nearest construct to bank is deposit.

Hold this as a prompt, not a verdict. Two constructs sitting close in meaning is a reason to read them side by side and decide for yourself whether they are one idea under two names. It is not proof that they are. Compare the meanings in the Collider.

Flight dynamics and physics

The roll angle that turns a vehicle

The rotation of an aircraft about its own nose-to-tail axis so that its wings tilt from level, which points part of the lift sideways and curves the flight path into a turn; the same idea tilts a road or track surface inward so that a fast vehicle is held in its curve. Etkin and Reid's 1996 Dynamics of Flight: Stability and Control set out how this roll angle, together with the vehicle's speed, fixes the rate and radius of a balanced turn. The referent is an angle and a manoeuvre, measured in degrees of tilt, and it shares nothing with a deposit-taking firm, the edge of a stream, or a seed store.[1]

Unit
One tilt of the vehicle, measured as an angle in degrees from level
Recovery means
Rolling the wings back to level and centring the controls returns the vehicle to straight flight
Measured by
Read from an attitude indicator or inertial sensors as the roll angle, and inferred from turn rate and radius
