  1. Bat tail

    Context date October 2009 In reference to bodyboard design, Bat tail is used to describe a style of tail which was invented by Mike Stewart bodyboarder Mike Stewart in the mid 1990s. The bat tail is essentially a combination of the clipped crescent tail and the square tail, which provides a balance of control and maneuverability. The additional hump located between the two outside tail pegs increases the tail s surface area, consequently elevating the rider s legs further out of the water and as a result, this reduces drag on the wave face. It is so named because when viewing the board bottom with the nose down, the outline of the tail somewhat resembles the ears and dome of the Batman s cowl. This results in increased looseness and speed with a reduction in stability as compared to a crescent tail . The bat tail is more suited to fat beach and small reef breaks where the waves are rather weak, and as such, drive must be generated by the rider. http www.rodndtube.com paipo BodyboardInfo ebodyboarding info.html Category Bodyboarding ...   more details

Position of horizontal stabilizers Cruciform tail The horizontal stabilizer s are placed midway up the vertical stabilizer, giving the appearance of a cross when viewed from the front, hence the name.

Pelikan tail Pelikan tail, named after Ralph Pelikan , has not yet been used on any aircraft. A Pelikan tail uses two control surfaces. It has the advantages of greater Yaw, pitch, and roll pitch control and a smaller radar signature. T tail This design incorporates the horizontal stabilizers on top of the vertical stabilizers, creating a T design when viewed from the front, hence the name.

The usual arrangement is to have the horizontal stabilizer intersect the vertical tail somewhere near the middle, and above the top of the fuselage . ref name RusDict cite web url http dic.academic.ru dic.nsf enwiki 505651 title Cruciform accessdate 2009 02 19 last dic.academic.ru authorlink year undated ref Often this arrangement is chosen to keep the tail out of the engines wake or to avoid complex interference drag . The empennage of the Dornier Do 335 , on which the horizontal stabilizers emerged from the fuselage between an upper and lower vertical fin, is also described as cruciform. Fact date April 2009 Cruciform tails are also used on many kind of airship s, like classical zeppelin Zeppelins . Benefits The cruciform tail gives the benefit of clearing the aerodynamics of the tail away from the wake of the engine, whilst not requiring the same amount of strengthening of the vertical tail section in comparison with a T tail design.
