Default Coordinated turns without rudder, and autopilots

Get in most any aircraft. Take it to a normal cruise airspeed.
Put your feet flat on the floor and roll her into a standard rate
turn. I can almost guarantee the ball will be centered. It
would be a highly inefficient and impractical design if it
doesn't fly coordinated without rudder impact in that
regime.


Then why would you ever need the rudder in a turn?
