Tail
The tail group consists of a vertical stabilizer, a horizontal stabilizer, two
elevators, and a rudder. The vertical stabilizer is mounted on the aft
fuselage, and the horizontal stabilizer is mounted on the top of the vertical
stabilizer. The rudder and elevators are mounted on the vertical and
horizontal stabilizers, respectively.
The vertical stabilizer is fully cantilevered and sweptback. A scoop for
cooling the air-conditioning systems is located on the lower leading edge
section and is heated when the Airfoil Anti-ice is operating.
