Bentwings

Thanks for the photo. Wow that took a lot of design, testing and work, that is outstanding. I'll see what I can do with this concept.

The problem with a single engine is that it pulls the wing forward of the wing on the dead engine, therefore, the adverse yaw. The wing going forward creates the roll to the dead engine. Even the most high wing loaded airplane is designed to fly, so pulling the power to get back to a stable flight condition, one would think, would be appropriate - maintain aircraft control then recover, as you suggested. I can tell you from personal experience that getting the power back is critical. Getting the airplane back from an uncontrolled condition to a controlled one is the answer, then bring the power back up with the appropriate amount of matching rudder and now you are flying the airplane, not the airplane flying you.
