wrote: I've been thinking about this, and although I'm far from being an authority on air combat, I can't see dutch rolls being a beneficial combat manoeuvre in the slightest. Even though the aircraft is oscillating in yaw and pitch the track heading remains the same, so surely it's straight forward to get shots on target? Dutch roll is an unavoidable dynamic response, not a desirable maneuver. It's no more useful than the phugoid. And no more intentional. Mary -- Mary Shafer Retired aerospace research engineer
