@Ethan where does the electrical current supplying electrons come from? What is powering the vents that are "blowing the electrons around". Unbound electrons are already going to move quite fast and if you change "Vents" to "an E-M steering field" you've essentially described a cathode ray tube (though those electrons don't bounce around, they are absorbed by phosphor)

@casey Its not really a great idea. I just thought of it randomly during chat. Didnt really give it much thought. I hope to come up with another concept and maybe the next concept I come up with I will give it thought. Its just an idea that came up randomly not much thought going into it.
@casey especially at my age I have no idea what a e-m steering field is, cathroderay, and phospher. Have no Iidea what those 3 are.
 
cathode ray tube is like the old TVs (pre-plasma)
EM steering field has to do with how a electron behaves in a magnetic field, and is used in cathode ray tubes to decide where the electron hits the screen and in particle accelerators to filter the correct speed of particles for collision (and make the particles take the correct path)

Q: Can a captain fly in the right seat as SIC under part 129?

Lee BauerRe a Part 129 air carrier that is short of co-pilots: Can a pilot who usually flies in the left seat (B737 aircraft: non-US registry) as the Pilot-in-Command fly in the right seat as the SIC (co-pilot)?

My bounty is about to auto award to an answer that I don't agree with if anyone wants to post something.

Q: Who said airshows should be banned

Jo 7I have been hearing about people saying to ban airshows were so they stop ban aviation ban plane ban flights helicopters? Where does it end?

Today I read about the Optica, which is certainly an interesting aircraft.
Also (unrelatedly), am I being thick or does this answer not answer my question at all?

A: How does a self-centring rudder affect adverse yaw?

Phliar PhilFirst, "adverse yaw" refers to the increased drag of a down aileron (and reduced drag on an up aileron) -- which mean that as you deflect the ailerons to roll left (in order to turn left), the adverse yaw makes the nose yaw right -- exactly the opposite of what you want. Therefore you balance any...

@DanHulme I'm not sure if it's called something different in the UK, but I learned (in the US) that adverse yaw is, as mentioned in the question, caused by aileron deflection in a turn.
The answer seems to address the title of the question, though not the body.
