Deano87 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Regardless Jets do get bent after a while. There are quite a few “tired” F-16s out there that require aileron trim one direction at low speed, opposite direction at high subsonic and then once supersonic you need to trim it back the other way lol. But I doubt this is something you notice after one overstress unless you’d really actually bent something, and then you’d have bigger issues than being a bit out of trim.

Kazius Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 From things I've read about aircraft, over stressing issues are usually seen in the fuselage first because aircraft are designed for flex in the wings for the purpose of handling loads.

I can think of one jet I've flown that always required about 1/4 unit right rudder trim when you accelerated through about 0.5 mach. 476th vFG/510th vFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
