Looking at using Cesium in a project where it simulates a vertical view from an aircraft. It wiil need to rotate around z-axis as airplane moves across map.  
Are there Cesium APIs in place that make this do-able?

Is there an example you’d recommend?

Yes,

Their is not 1 single example currently in the Sandcastle, but if you look at the [camera tutorial](http://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Apps/Sandcastle/index.html?src=Camera%20Tutorial.html&label=Tutorials) for how to disable user controls of the camera and the API document for the camera combined with the [3D Models](http://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Apps/Sandcastle/index.html?src=3D%20Models.html&label=Tutorials) you I think you will be able to get off to a good start.
