Isn't it the A310 that also lost a tail and crashed in New York City a month or 2 after 9/11. IIRC, there is a particular airplane that the manufacturer says "don't use the rudder too hard" because if you do, the tail could break off. Imagine if you were test driving a car and the salesperson said "don't turn too hard or the car will break in half". Doesn't your airplane have any structural limitations? Just offhand, I can think of max gear extension speed and never exceed speed as a couple of limitations on mine. Unless you have a full authority fly-by-wire computer limiting what you can do, you can break an airplane if you maneuver it outside its design limitations. |
