any clues as to where one might be able to find what they have really done in the back room of the 737's? all i can find is cryptic explanations showing big boxes with fancy words and multiple assurances that we can rest easy at night knowing that the rudder will be a good boy from now on.
might have to go to some hangar with a cam corder and try to get some pictures of what really is back there.
when ones sees the cowlings on the engines open, it is very interesting and educational-but have yet to see the rudder bits undressed!
perhaps that is part of the reason why the NG is quite a different animal the last few seconds of flight compared to the classics-along with the elevator feel shift and stall protection devices adding their little quirks to one's flare.
