No auto-rudder on the 757 when I retired from AA in 1993.
I have no reason to doubt you, just wondering what the hell Boeings
putting out in their literature. Does anyone with RB-211s have an auto
rudder system?
The 757 has an automatic YAW damper, as does the F-4, but the flight control
changes you are describing are a 777 feature. You really need an integrated
flight control computer to justify taking that much authority away from the
operator. A FBW B-52 is cool with me, but it sounds a tad pricey.
I'm pretty sure the KC-135R has an auto-rudder, and it's a FBC (fly-by-cable).
Although I've only been a passenger in one out of Altus, and that was in 89 :-)
