Question Engine failure on Trijet...

Me again, chaps!

Always wondered what happens when the centre engine fails on a Trijet. (eg Trident, L1011 etc)

If one of the wing or side mounted engines quits, then obviousley you will have a yaw in the direction of the engine that is still turning. Left fails, Yaw to right.

But what happens if the CENTRE engine quits??

Does the aircraft pitch up, or is there just a reduction of acceleration...??
