It seems to me that any airplane that will lose it's tail simply by using
the rudder pedals is unsafe and shouldn't be allowed to fly.

The only way to do this is to put computer interpretation/authority over pilot
commands so that the computer will move the rudder at safe speeds for current airspeed.

Problem is that pilots outside AA had always been trained to refrain from
using rudder for normal flying. They were never instructed to use the rudder
in flight as a teenager uses a nintendo game paddle. So this was never an
issue before.


So the big question is wether trhe A380 and 7E7 (planes that were launched
after that AA accident) will have computer controlled rudders.
