As a mnemonic,
x,
y, and
z get the colors
red,
green, and
blue as in
RGB.
The grid below the plane (the "body") consists of
red and
blue lines because it is the
x-
z-plane of the "world" (the "lab").
The plane's fuselage is
red as it is its
x axis. Its cockpit and vertical stabilizer are
green because they point upwards in the direction of the plane's
y axis. The wing tips point left and right like the
z axis and therefore the wings are
blue.
For
intrinsic rotations, the order of angles is meant to be 1-2-3 while for
extrinsic rotations the order is 3-2-1. For more details see
Wikipedia. You might also want to have a look at
