Discussion
Four tail configurations assessed on three criteria.
| Configuration | Fin weight | Deep stall risk | Tailplane efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conventional | Low | Low | Moderate |
| Cruciform | Moderate | Low | Good |
| T-tail | High | High | Very good |
| V-tail | Low | Low | Moderate |
Which configuration does the table suggest for a rear-engined regional jet?
Answer: A
Rear-fuselage engines leave no clean position low down, so the tailplane must climb the fin and the penalties are simply accepted, with a stick pusher covering the stall risk. It is why almost every rear-engined jet is a T-tail.
