ABSTRACT:
A high efficiency vertical tail unit is combined with a variable wing geory for large angles of attack, primarily for all-wing aircraft such as delta-type craft. The vertical tail unit is hinged for adjustment about an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fuselage. The outer wing portions are connected, at an angle, with a vertical tail unit which is directed vertically downward in its normal position. The assembly comprising an outer wing portion and a vertical tail unit is rotatable about the parallel axis whereby three different wing types may be realized in the same craft.
