Actually, in some aircraft, banking an airplane causes it to turn in a
direction *opposite* of the bank. Rudder is necessary in a turn, to make
sure the turn is coordinated and is as efficient as possible. Many
airplanes, without the use of rudder, will simply slip sideways without any
change in heading at all.

That would require extremely draggy ailerons. I know that some planes
turn sloppy without rudder, but what planes don't change heading at
all? Gliders?


All the best,
