By "entire rudder", does it mean the whole vertical fin, or just the
moveable part?
Boeing has safely landed a B-52H with virtually no vertical stab, and
an E-6A (707) without the majority of its vertical stab. And of
course, the IDF/AF F-15 missing a wing.
And then there are helicopters, which have absolutely no business even
trying to fly...
