how does a plane turn?
damnit i am not able to figure out what does a rudder do in an aircraft.
an aircraft banks, lift has a component perpendicular to the fuselage in horizontal plane, it plays for the centrifugal force, aircraft makes a turn.
if rudder is moved keeping the bank zero, nose rotates in a horizontal plane but craft keeps on going on in the same direction. rudder IS producing yaw but is not able to turn the plane.there is no force pushing it to turn
if rudder is not there, won't the craft turn? what is rudder trying to balance??
what the hell is rudder trying to do??:grumpy::grumpy::grumpy:
i am sure i am missing something(geez i have wasted 2 hours thinking about it)
i know i am wrong somewhere:uhh::uhh: but don't know where. please help
