The CRJ is interesting to fly with a lot of trimming required as it’s a long-bodied jet with a large swing either side of the CG. I mean, all jets I have flown are like that, but this is fairly sensitive to pitch, power, and flap configuration—all requiring lots of trimming. With a lighter corporate jet, that is powerful.

Remember when your CFI taught you to turn crosswind around 500-700 feet?

The principle is the same whether the aircraft gets thrust from propellers or jet engines. A propeller forces air backward, while a jet engine ignites a mixture of air and fuel to generate hot gases that eject backward. In jet engines, increasing throttle increases the fuel flow, producing more exhaust gases that can be flung backward.

This type of design is common in delta-winged aircraft such as fighter jets. They just keep the wings level, and the aircraft will simply drift with the wind if its experiencing any significant crosswind. UA232 was a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10, a tri-jet.
