Default Coordinated turns without rudder, and autopilots

Swept wing and some straight wing aircraft have independent Yaw
Damper(s) that control the rudder(s). Their primary function is to
control (prevent) dutch roll. They operate with the autopilot on or
off.


I'm thinking along the lines of small aircraft such as a C172 or
Baron. They do not have AP control of the rudder, and yet the AP can
still execute coordinated turns.


No it can't, fjukkkwit.
