Orientation Specification
It is often necessary to represent a point in space, and describe the orientation of a
body in space. See the orientation of the aircraft in the following diagram.
Orientation specifies the roll, pitch and yaw (orientation) of a flying aircraft. Roll,
pitch and yaw are standard navigation terms for airplanes and ships, and represent
the rotations around X, Y, and Z axes of the base coordinate system.
