Hi,
I am trying to find out what the advantages and disadvantages are of having a T-tail like on the Embraer 145?
So far i've found: -
Disadvantages to be: -
- The possibility of a deep stall
- The vertical stablizer must be made stronger and stiffer to support the forces generated by the tailplane
Advantages to be: -
- The elevator and stabilizer are out the way of FOD being kicked up the the tires, engines etc etc.
- Allows high performance aerodynamics and excellent glide ratio as the empennage is not effected by the wing slip steam.
My question is 1) are these correct and 2) are there any more??
