This morning in my reading, I learned about the T-Tail and how when the wings stall during flight, the wake created by the wing makes the t-tail become ineffective. When understanding the tail and the effects they might have on the flight, I got curious on all of the different types of tails out there. Each seems to have a purpose unique to the plane.

Understanding how the tail of the plane works and why it is important is super interesting and I’m blown away at the different types out there. I now notice them since I am aware of the various types.
