Which aircraft will stand it then?

Hmm.

Some pretty outspoken claims above.

My question - which passenger jet aircraft will stand full rudder cycles at
a fast sequence without damage?

Any of you guys care to try it out?

I certainly wouldn't - even on my favourite DC-9 family with limiters.

That's a big barn door of a control up there. It is there to counter engine
failure side forces and needs a lot of respect. I don't even like to see fast rudder actuation on the ground during control checks. Easy does it.

FC.
