Lear 45 Delta Fins??

Someone I know is about to try to get a job on Lear 45s, but he has asked me what the delta fins are for. I reckon that they're there for directional stability, but that the full area would not be available with a ventral fin without making it too big for ground clearance in the flare.

Are there any other smarter ideas around?
