The vertical stabilizer is the fixed vertical surface of the empennage. A vertical stabilizer or tail fin [1] [2] is the static part of the vertical tail of an aircraft. [1] The term is commonly applied to the assembly of both this fixed surface and one or more movable rudders hinged to it. Their role is to provide control, stability and trim ...
The vertical stabilizer is connected to the fuselage with six attaching points. Each point has two sets of attachment lugs, one made of composite material , another of aluminum , all connected by a titanium bolt; damage analysis showed that the bolts and aluminum lugs were intact, but not the composite lugs.
USAAF unit identification aircraft markings, commonly called "tail markings" after their most frequent location, were numbers, letters, geometric symbols, and colors painted onto the tails (vertical stabilizer fins, rudders and horizontal surfaces), wings, or fuselages of the aircraft of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) during the ...
The vertical tail structure has a fixed front section called the vertical stabiliser, used to control yaw, which is movement of the fuselage right to left motion of the nose of the aircraft. The rear section of the vertical fin is the rudder , a movable aerofoil that is used to turn the aircraft's nose right or left.
A Boeing 737 uses an adjustable stabilizer, moved by a jackscrew, to provide the required pitch trim forces. Generic stabilizer illustrated. A horizontal stabilizer is used to maintain the aircraft in longitudinal balance, or trim: [3] it exerts a vertical force at a distance so the summation of pitch moments about the center of gravity is zero.

The B-2’s flying-wing design reduced the number of angles and eliminated vertical stabilizers that reflect radar waves and increase RCS. ... they tucked the engines deep inside the fuselage and ...
It may still have a fuselage, vertical tail fin (vertical stabilizer), and/or vertical rudder. Theoretical advantages of the tailless configuration include low parasitic drag as on the Horten H.IV soaring glider and good stealth characteristics as on the Northrop B-2 Spirit bomber. Disadvantages include a potential sensitivity to trim.
The livery consisted of the airline's website in the fuselage and airline's name on the vertical stabilizer, on top of an orange wave. Solaseed Air: The logo is a 3D green fluid with 2 dots, indicating a smile. Southwest Airlines: Yellow, red and royal blue livery. SpiceJet: 15 yellow dots on a red background
