    Yaw control is performed by means of an electronic control system that commands electro-hydraulic actuators of the rudders. This means that the electronic control system uses electrical signals to control hydraulic actuators, which in turn control the movement of the rudders. This combination of electronic and hydraulic systems allows for precise and efficient control of the yaw movement of the vehicle.
