Other than 'slung off', how would an engineering discussion characterize the analysis of 'failure' (engine loss from mountings) ? That is to say, there is probably a difference between 'yaw angle' and 'yaw rate' ?
Well the angle part only implies an aero drag load while the rate part implies inertia loading. I crudely used the term yaw since in an aeronautical sense most folks on this forum relate. However even if the plane is not moving along its horriz axis a flat spin component will do the same trick.
