In the present-day practice, an aeroplane is designed with assurance, as to performance, strength, and stability, depending upon theoretical analysis. Control surfaces, however, are designed with risks, relying upon the experience of designers and the judgement of test pilots
The angular velocity with which an aeroplane rotates corresponding to the maximum rudder angle when it flies with the minimum velocity is calculated for recent aeroplanes, and it is shown that the control surfaces are to be so designed that the angular velocity is greater than the mean value for the category to which the aeroplane belongs.
