V-tail: History, Variants & Advantages

The V-tail or vee-tail (sometimes called a butterfly tail or Rudlicki's V-tail[citation needed]) of an aircraft is an unconventional arrangement of the tail control surfaces that replaces the traditional vertical and horizontal surfaces with two surfaces set in a V-shaped configuration. It is not widely used in aircraft design. The aft edge of each twin…
