Precession
The thread begs a question.

It would be of some significant interest to have someone calculate the approximate precessional force produced by 4 engines of a typical airliner at cruise in a rate one turn: and maybe for the engine of an F-16 pulling 9g. Side loads on the spool bearings need to be contained and do the FBW computers make compensatory allowances during manoeuvres?
