Get Real

Fly sideways.........." says who?

Short of an aircraft with vectoring thrust, or a rotary, I can't think of a way to make a plane fly "sideways", The closest I know of is a sideslip, which requires bank (ailerons) and top rudder, ie all crossed up. Bank so that one wing is "down" and apply the rudder to the opposite side, so starboard wing down and rudder sticking out to port.

Increasing the thrust of one engine or decreasing the thrust of another will make the aircraft turn towards the side with the least thrust.

in order to discredit all those who are opposed to a free charter for government snooping and mandatory encryption backdoors, certain agencies will plumb any depths to create FUD amongst the general populace, Nobody who knows about flying or flight systems believes what has been said, or is alleged to have been said. But faced with some influential, knowledgeable and hostile congressmen, the Feds (for want of a better term) are crying wolf. As far as the "perp" is concerned, the term naive springs to mind, or is it dork?
