Crab Angle A crab, or crab angle, is a maneuver used to counteract the drift of an aircraft caused by a crosswind. The pilot will offset the heading of the aircraft from the desired track by a calculated amount, and the aircraft's velocity combined with the wind through vector addition will give a net movement in the desired direction.

"We're proud to provide this critical flight control technology to our customer and colleagues at Sikorsky Aircraft. Having previously used a derivative system on a fly-by-wire Black Hawk helicopter, UTC Aerospace Systems has shown the FCS could be expanded for the autonomous mission management role. We are looking forward to further advancing the FCS to continue increasing safety and versatility for future helicopters."
