public class RudderControlSurface : ControlSurface
Remarks

Rudder deflection generates side force on the tail, rotating the aircraft's nose left or right. Primary uses include coordinating turns (preventing adverse yaw from ailerons), crosswind landing corrections, and maintaining directional control during engine-out scenarios on multi-engine aircraft. Effectiveness increases with airspeed but decreases with turbulent or separated airflow.
