A method for executing yaw control of an aircraft including two rotors is provided. The method includes inducing helicopter yaw by creating a differential torque between the two rotors, wherein the creating of the differential torque comprises inducing a differential collective pitch to generate a differential thrust, and maintaining helicopter roll equilibrium during the inducing of the helicopter yaw by inducing a differential cyclic pitch to generate a differential lift offset.
