OU Engineers to Design a Better Rudder to Potentially Save the Air Force Millions

January 20, 2023

It may be a small piece of a massive aircraft, but the B-1B lower rudder is essential. The B-1B Lancer aircraft became operational for use in 1986, and sustaining it well into this decade is vital to Air Force operational readiness. The lower rudder is an integral part of a split rudder control system that provides structural support and control as the aircraft flies at high speeds. However, the current manufacturing process for the lower rudder piece is complex and expensive.
