The 737 requires a fair amount of rudder to maintain coordinated flight on
one engine, but bear in mind this is also directly proportional to the
thrust being produced by the other engine, and airspeed. Higher asymetric
thrust, more rudder. Higher airspeed, less rudder (due to the aircraft
"weathervane" effect induced by the large vertical stab)
Never flown a 727.
