[QUOTE="AviatorInsight, post: 2241322, member: 65200"] Can it be done? Yes. Look at Air Canada Flight 143. Is it advisable? No. The high side loads could do damage to the engine pylons at high speeds. Likewise with the high aerodynamic loads on the control surfaces at high speeds. Look at American Airlines Flight 587. The rudder in a large transport aircraft is typically used for trim, engine failure, and crosswind takeoff and landing. That is it. [/QUOTE]
