Hi all,
Also on the RAAFs newly developed B737IGW AEW&C aircraft, it has two ventral fins extending downwards from the rear fuselage.

They are there to assist with directional control (single engine) since the 'Tophat' radar antenna has deemed to had some effect on the effectiveness of the vertical stabilizer.

Cheers,

FD
