Is there a conventional notation or name for the slip angle?

$begingroup$


Angle of attack is usually designed by alpha (as in alpha_prot).



Is there such a conventional notation or name for other axes? I'm particularly interested in the slip angle.

          Sideslip angle is commonly notated as β (see e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(aerodynamics)).

            There is only one other such angle. It is indeed the sideslip one, and its standard greek letter is $beta$ (beta)
