forward slips on a jet safe ??
Is it structurally safe to perform a forward slip (full rudder deflection) on a jet like the B737, 777 etc in the event of any emergency ?
(perhaps a rapid emergency descent or depressurization, or like in the case of Air Canada Flight 143 aka the Gimli Glider)
Im asking this because I've read somewhere that the rudder in a heavy jet are not the strongest of the flight control surfaces and might not be able to withstand the pressures felt during full rudder deflection by the pilot while attempting a forward slip to lose altitude.
