Say you're landing on a 15,000 foot runway coated with ice. You
want to keep the plane going in a straight line without thrust
reversers. Which is the greatest contributor to yaw?

Engine torque

or

Thrust

or

Rudder?

Is their a difference from piston to turboprop to jet?

Why is it important to know this to keep the plane going straight?

At what airspeed does the rudder become ineffective?



God you're a fjuckwit, Jaxhole.

Don't you know anything?

Hey Bertie: How many "15,000' Ry's do you know of subject to being
"coated with ice"?


Oh that's only the first in a long string of idiocies in this post.

All of these things are "how long is a piece of string" type questions,
though Jax wouldn't know that, having gotten the idea for all of them from
some planespotter magazine.
