You answered a question I had had for some time now. The 737 is perhaps one of the last large commercial aircraft to have mechanical linkages as backup to the servo-controlled hydraulics. Airbus uses fly-by-wire computers with massive redundancy if I am correct. So that begs the question of how the much much larger Zeppelins moved their even more massive control surfaces in the days before hydraulic servos even existed. I do know the answer, which is that they had smaller winglike surfaces both above and below the elevators for instance, that worked like the tail surfaces of a small airplane and essentially flew those huge balanced airfoils into the positions needed to change the direction of the entire airship. The rudders (top and bottom) worked the same way. While that method worked within the speed regime of those vehicles it was slow to act. Not a big problem when lift was accomplished mostly with buoyancy but for large heavier-than-air craft, it could not be used much.

Good video, but when you say "momentum," you should be saying "moment." The first is a conserved physical vector quantity equal to the body's mass times it velocity. Forces acting on a body change its momentum. Moment, also known as torque, is a force applied offset from the center of a mass of a body which causes rotation. "Moment" is used primarily when talking about structures or other objects which are not intended to continuously rotate. "Torque" is used in rotating systems, such as an engine, to describe the twisting effort on a shaft or similar object. So, in a turbofan aircraft such as a B737 on takeoff, you would have torque from the engine core causing the fan to rotate, providing a thrust force on the structure of the aircraft, which causes both a pitching moment about the aircraft center of gravity and increasing the aircraft's momentum, causing it to accelerate down the runway.

To explain banking a little more, maybe use roads such as the Autobahn or the USA Interstate system, or any road designed for high speed. On such roads, turns to the left and right will always see the road itself banked up so vehicles are using centrifugal force to remain ON the road, instead of sliding off it. You see the same thing on turns at race tracks. Planes do the same thing, except they have to bank themselves, and do it properly. The principle is the same.

When mentioning balancing the turn with the rudder, I've wondered if there's much adverse yaw (secondary sideslip type yaw) from the down going aileron of the uplifting side wing? That is, if the automatic or manual rudder inputs weren't implied? With gliders/sailplanes for example, the aircraft would sort of side slip out of the banked turn, without plenty of rudder.

I always thought that banking the aircraft resulted in some of the vertical lift component now applying a centripetal force to the aircraft resulting in the turn (when used in conjunction with the rudder input). That reduction in vertical lift also results in a loss of altitude during the turn. On a separate note, momentum is mass X velocity (kg.m/s), where as moment is force X distance (Nm), which is I think what you are referring to? It's difficult when English isn't your first language, you do a first rate job.

Which role plays the turning of the engines in stabilizing a jet? A turning gyroscope has an rotational inertia, i.e. an inertia of the direction of its axis of rotation. Since the axis of rotation of an engine is parallel to the roll- axis of the plane, the rotational inertia takes effect perpendicular to the roll- axis, which means, it stabilizes pitch and yaw. How strong is this effect? Do you have to observe it in cockpit, and- if yes- when and how? Is steering more gently when the engines turn faster? Does the shutdown of an engine come along with a pitch- stability issue also? Are there any limitations to steering- input due to precession of the fan? When landing a quad- jet at crosswind: Would it be reasonable to reallocate thrust from the outer to the inner engines? The wing as lever to turn the inner nacelles is shorter than as lever to turn the outer nacelles, so the rotational inertia should be more yaw- stabilizing when located in the inner nacelles. Does a twin- jet fly more gently than a quad- jet at equal weight and thrust generally for the bigger rotational inertia of its engines?

Love your channel and videos. How you explain things is very refreshing and audio quality is spot on. A small model airplane would be a perfect prop in explaining the control surfaces and their affect on the airplane. Don't get me wrong, your arm works well too! I'm only a simmer, but have learned so much from your videos. This Wednesday I'll get the chance to go up in a small GA airplane for a 'Discovery Flight'. My wife gave it to me for my birthday. I'm 70. Not exactly sure what the flight will entail, but I hope the pilot will let me do a little maneuvering of the plane, in flight so I can put some of what I've learned in the simulator to a real world encounter. Not sure what plane it will be, but I'm assuming it will be either a 152, or 172. I live 2 miles from a small GA airport, and on the weekends there's lots of activity as I can hear and see the little Cessnas flying around. The downwind leg is right over my house as they approach base. In the summer I can sit on my deck and watch the pattern and turns being made. I think a lot of touch-n-gos are being practiced. I've got almost 400 hours using my sim (MSFS), and feel pretty confident on how to operate a small plane. It should be a lot of fun. Thanks again for such an informative channel and also for the quality you put into making them very enjoyable. Happy flying. :)

Ok but ... why the pilots could not be able to fly the plane without the vertical stabilizer in this incident. Yes it is key aerodynamic element, but if only helps to stabilize the plane in flight and to help with the yaw, without it will be a nightmare, but probably manageable by aggressive handling. Can you help me understand that. If it will be to long you can do a video on it :) Thank you in advanced

Say you had a half-full cabin, and were trimmed up in level flight, flying manually (autopilot off). If a pax got up and walked to the back, would the AoA start to creep up noticeably? How quickly would it become apparent? What if it were two pax, or five, or ten?

Great Info on this Channel, also for Aviatic laymen :-) What stuns me, the Fin (vertical stabilizer) can be ripped off of a plane by airstream alone (as shown at 15:10). But then, about Wings it is known they are designed to never brake. Now I'm wondering if bad wheather or turbulence conditions can make Fins breaking away, accidentally. As I learn, bad maneuvering conditions (which could occur in severe turbulences?) would easily rip them off. In other words, why are Wings built so strong (to never brake), while vital Fins aren't that strong, so they can brake eventually.

I have a question about something that has been "stuck" in my mind and you seem like the perfect person to ask. I read an article about an airliner that survived an initial "hardover" encounter which left the pilot struggling to initiate a survivable landing with a severely deflected, inoperable rudder. With a lot of luck and almost 30k hours of flight experience he pulled it off. While I realize that aircraft are essentially some of the best designed vehicles that there are my question is why don't they design aircraft with simple redundancies like a manual crank that is available to "undeflect" the rudder when it is otherwise inoperable. I know this must sound ridiculous to an experienced pilot but a simple mechanism could be added to these "basic" systems and in an emergency situation could make a huge difference. So that's my question, do you have the thought that a manual rudder system for use during a severe rudder failure is unreasonable? Why aren't fail safe, manual redundancies like that incorporated into these amazing vehicles?

The rudder pedals are only used on final approach for landing. During a crosswind landing the pilot kicks either the right or left pedal at the last moment to get the nose of the aircraft straight with the runway. (unless you're an Air Asia pilot, then around 8 miles on an inbound final you do dutch rolls because your "white over white" on either the Vasi or Papi and need to drop 2000' quickly..) ~Laughing~

Simple answer: Cut the fins off a dart and try to score a bullseye.

Very nice explanations! Would it be possible to talk of the role of the rudder in high AOA situations?

Nice video. You may want to equip yourself with a small scale model airplane as a visual aid to this kind of flight physics videos. I liked the axes rotations mimics, though! :)

Has there been any tests on putting the rudder on the winglets instead? I.e. completely remove the vertical stabilizer and put total rudder area divided by two on the winglets. Maybe dirty air on the leeside and too much stress on the wings could be a problem?

It was a good idea to change title. The first one was misleading.
