Tail Design

Tail Design is a specialized aspect of UAV airframe design that constitutes the systematic methodology for configuring stabilizing and control surfaces at the empennage to ensure longitudinal, directional, and pitch stability, distinguishing it from other structural subsystems by its focus on aerodynamic equilibrium and flight dynamics regulation.
