Avro RJ-85 of SN Brussels Airlines (Belgium) McDonnell Douglas MD-90 Piper PA-44-180 Seminole Grob G 109 motor glider Beechcraft 1900D of the Swiss Air Force T-tail of aircraft . A T-tail is an empennage configuration in which the tailplane of an aircraft is mounted to the top of the fin. The arrangement looks like the capital letter T, hence ...
The empennage of an Atlas Air Boeing 747-200. The empennage (/ ˌ ɑː m p ɪ ˈ n ɑː ʒ / or / ˈ ɛ m p ɪ n ɪ dʒ /), also known as the tail or tail assembly, is a structure at the rear of an aircraft that provides stability during flight, in a way similar to the feathers on an arrow.
The placement of the remaining two engines varies. Most smaller aircraft, such as the Hawker Siddeley Trident and the Boeing 727, as well as the intermediate-sized Tupolev Tu-154, have two side-mount engine pylons in a T-tail configuration. The larger widebody Lockheed TriStar and DC-10/MD-11 mount an engine underneath each wing.

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.
This is a list of fixed-wing aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing arranged under manufacturer. The list excludes helicopters, including compound helicopters and gyrocopters, because they are assumed to have this capability.
Normal flight (above), Deep stall condition - T-tail in "shadow" of wing (below) A Schweizer SGS 1-36 being used for deep-stall research by NASA over the Mojave Desert in 1983. A deep stall (or super-stall) is a dangerous type of stall that affects certain aircraft designs, notably jet aircraft with a T-tail configuration and rear-mounted ...
In vinyl polymers the complete configuration can be further described by defining polymer head/tail configuration. In a regular macromolecule all monomer units are normally linked in a head to tail configuration so that all β-substituents are separated by three carbon atoms.
