attitude control huh?

• na85 5y ago
  Yes, "attitude" is an aerospace industry term for "the way you are pointing/oriented".

    So like heading, course, angle, direction, vector, and other terms that make more sense?

      those all have distinct but specific meanings. Attitude refers to a collection of those terms, specifically as they relate to the frame of reference (the ground, in nearly all cases) https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/35933/what-is-the-exact-meaning-of-attitude-does-it-include-translational-movement/35935#35935 https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/35933/what-is-t...

      I mean "attitude" makes perfect sense to those of us who actually work in aerospace. It's related to all the terms you listed but none of them are strictly equivalent. But go ahead and be snarky if it makes you feel better?

  As in many other areas of life, your attitude determines your altitude!
