Point taken arcniz. Surely, however, the designers must take into account the possibility of a heavy turbulence encounter at high speed (something that would potentially generate stresses far higher than a max x-wind landing), violent yaw-damp failure induced dutch roll, or engine-out maneuvering at high power settings when considering maximum lateral loads to be withstood by the fin assembly.

redturk, I agree, the maneuver is not a pretty one, but for the purposes of understanding large aircraft behaviour and design limits, a very interesting one.
