more rudder to the right????
At my local FBO I overheard an old time, and quite accomplished, pilot
discussing spins and saying that small piston airplanes have "more rudder to the right". I vaguely seem to recall reading that rudders are designed to create more "lift" to the left, when viewed from above, to compensate for the spiraling slipstream. Is this correct? Is there any other reason a plane would have more rudder to the left? Wouldn't that then allow it to spin faster to the right, because the rudder is assisting the faster (outside) wing? tks |
