Two engines each of \( 120 \) kN thrust are mounted \( 8 \) m from the centreline. With one failed, the yawing moment to be trimmed is

  • A.1920 kN m
  • B.480 kN m
  • C.120 kN m
  • D.960 kN m

Answer: D

The live engine produces \( 120 \times 8 = 960 \) kN m about the centre of gravity. The rudder must generate an equal and opposite moment, and the side load needed to do so is what sizes the fin and its attachment structure.
