Great. Nailed it for me in this first search for an example of V tail operation with a short and precise visual explanation and easily understood. Thank you.
Just got back from the Beechcraft Museum in Tullahoma, Tn. There I saw the V tail up close for the first time. Came home to find out how it worked. Thanks !
Super-clear and well-explained, particularly due to the excellent graphics employed. Thank you. I’ve just subscribed because this was so well done. (Lapsed, non-current private pilot)
Great explanation, thank you. It does seem like the simple pitch up in a vee tail would create way more drag than a traditional tee tail, what with the horizontal force vectors working against each other.
Thank u soo much , i was having such a hard time understanding V-Tails and this video especially the animation has made it soo much easier. Are u a Pilot or an Aeronautical Engineer.
The freakin' ruddervators are moving in exactly the opposite directions, compared to the the ailerons positional changes to make a left or right turn. Right turn = right aileron trailing edge is aimed up and back, and the left aileron is aimed down and back. Right wing dips toward earth, left wing angles upward.
The tail is too close to the wing (not enough moment), and the wing reflex force is large, due to large chord. neither of these have to do with the V-tail, but are fundamental design flaws.
So wait. If I pull back on the yoke and put in right rudder, the right ruddervator stays nuetral? How are the controls from the yoke and rudder pedals isolated?
No, the left ruddervator force is down at an angle to the left, the right ruddervator is up at an angle and also left. I think of the up and down cancelling out so the plane just moves to the right from the force of the ruddervator pushing the tail to the left.
I would like to know more about how the control inputs of upward pitch and sideways yaw result in the correct amount of movement in the rudder-vators. For example, you say that increase pitch and right yaw inputs result in the left rudder-vator moving upward and the right one remaining essentially neutral. Well, how does back pressure on the yoke for upward pitch combine with right foot pressure on the pedals to result in the combination of rudder-vator movement described?
I believe some kind of mixing unit mechanically combines pilot inputs to move flight control surfaces in a uniquely v-tail combination as explained in the video.
Overall, I think the V-tail is safest because if 1 stabilizer breaks off, it can still fly. However with a conventional tail-plane, if the vertical stabilizer breaks off, you're finished.
(1:42) Unsafe design. Not only that there is a resultant force to push the tail of the plane to the left causing the plane to turn to the right, there is a resultant force to cause the fuselage to spine in a counter-clockwise direction as well. That means the plane may become unstable during turns. Beechcraft Bonanza [what's with the V Tail? Is it Safe, is it really a Doctor Killer?] (4:12)
ahhhhh I see the issue with V tails now, when you did the last demonstration, you can see that all the forces are going to be stressing on one point rather than three points like the comventional T tail
Hi captain can you please specify a book to understand maths for aviation . I am not a science student. Also I m 36 . If I wanna be a pilot any hope to get a job as a 40 yrs old (fresher) pilot ?

Nothing like a free-body diagram to show the resultant force! Thanks for sharing.
:)
Very well explained
Great. Nailed it for me in this first search for an example of V tail operation with a short and precise visual explanation and easily understood. Thank you.
It was exactly what I needed and it was also my first (and only needed) search result.
This was a good simple explanation to the concept of v tails. Thanks!
I've been using TH-cam for a long time now. This is the first video I've ever commented on. Thank you 🎉🎉🎉
The great graphics were very much appreciated.

Nice
Beautifully clear educational video... many thanks.
So simple .... Nice video. Thank you

Thx that was everything what I wanted to know about the V-Tail.
Wow thank you. This video help me understand better ❤
Very easily explained
Nice video!
Most informative video ever watched. Thanks
Thanks, the video was very clear to understand.
Thanks, dude! I was studying it a couple hours ago. Nice review for me :D
Awesome.
What an excellent explanation, thanks!
Thank you so much.
very great and nicely explained
Great visual display, thank you, may try my first v tail crash.
Amazing explanation! 👏🏼
Well explained 🥰
Thank you for the explanation. Great video.
Much love to you man thanks for the vid
Thanks for sharing the information
Really understandable
Before I watched this video I thought V-tail is fantasy thanks for this explicit animation
The ruddevators do the same movement to yaw as the airelons do to roll, why one makes it yaw and the other makes it roll
Thank u soo much , i was having such a hard time understanding V-Tails and this video especially the animation has made it soo much easier. Are u a Pilot or an Aeronautical Engineer.
Ty I’ve been stumped for many moons
Awesomely Done
Thanks for explanation
Very nicely explained sir... Very easy to understand with your way of explaining. From books it's very tuff to understand
Regards ☺️🙏🙏

thanks a lot brother
I just saw a Fouga CM-170 Magister French V-Tail trainer jet at the Paso Robles CA air show, loud...
That's a cool looking plane.
Thank you. Great video
Very well done video mate!!!Just a question..Isn't the v tail more prone to fatigue and stress due to this resutant forces?
You might be right, I don't know.
Good explanation. Thanks
That's an excellent explanation, thank you!
Superb
Thanks Sir
Why modern gliders to not have V tails anymore?
Your videos are always awesome brother....
Thank you.
I would love to see the internal cable setup in a bonanza. From the outside it looks like it would be a nightmare.
Yeah probably a nightmare of cables
Anyway you could make something on the operation of multi engine aircraft ? Like Vmc , critical vs non critical, etc.
I'll put it on the list... I get a lot of requests tho... So it might not be soon. Thanks for the comment.
Pilot Effect much appreciated.
Great !!! thanks
Perfect video, I just have to understand why my nano talon barely has any elevator

So wait. If I pull back on the yoke and put in right rudder, the right ruddervator stays nuetral? How are the controls from the yoke and rudder pedals isolated?

at 1:36 , won't it cause banking to the left? because if we look at the green arrows, they are kind of turning counter-clockwise.
No, the left ruddervator force is down at an angle to the left, the right ruddervator is up at an angle and also left. I think of the up and down cancelling out so the plane just moves to the right from the force of the ruddervator pushing the tail to the left.
very well explained!
Thanks!
How do v tails do without horizontal stabilizers to keep from nosediving?
so vtail is more to use in long range planes?
idk
I would like to know more about how the control inputs of upward pitch and sideways yaw result in the correct amount of movement in the rudder-vators.

Which is more "yaw" efficient?
Im not sure
would you plz mind making design of vtail video?
Thank you

amen
Was behind the long and thick but not itself lol
Why v tail?

Who's from Prof Thom Purdue? :}
Примитивно. Достаточно секунд 5 подумать, чтобы понять как это работает. Вот как сделать управление от одной ручки - это вопрос.
