Topic: Twin tail


  
  Twin tail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A twin tail is a specific type of vertical stabilizer arrangement found on some aircraft.
Two vertical stabilizers — often smaller on their own than a single conventional tail would be — are mounted at the outside of the aircraft's horizontal stabilizer.
Many canard aircraft designs incorporate twin tails on the tips of the main wing.

 Beechcraft Twin Bonanza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Twin Bonanza was about 50% larger, heaver and more powerful than the Travel Air and could not be considered to be a true "twin bonanza" other than in name.
However, the Twin Bonanza is not a variant of the Bonanza.
In 1952 the Twin Bonanza was produced as a utility transport for the U.S. Army.

 Helicopters - Patent 4347997
The tail rotor assembly 12 comprises two tail rotors 13 located respectively at the ends of laterally extending fins 14 and in the illustrated embodiment, the fins 14 extend upwardly and outwardly from the tail cone 11 at an angle of approximately 20 degrees.
This signal is transmitted to the tail rotor differential pitch adjusting mechanism 19 which adjusts the collective pitch setting of the individual tail rotors 13 to provide lateral thrust forces in opposite directions generally inwardly from each of the tail rotors 13.
The pitch setting of the tail rotors 13 is progressively increased differentially to a pre-selected maximum at which the tail rotor assembly 12 absorbs high power from the main rotor 17 whilst maintaining the necessary yaw control thereby establishing the maximum attainable nose-up attitude of the helicopter and, correspondingly, the maximum deceleration force.

 Twin tail fall arrest lanyards
The worker was using a twin tail fall arrest lanyard and the lanyard failed when he fell from the tower.
A twin tail lanyard, of the type involved in the incident, consists of two lanyard tails that are attached to one end of an energy absorber.
Twin tail fall arrest lanyards should be designed so that no part of the lanyard assembly can catastrophically fail if the user falls from an elevated area with the lanyard assembly attached in either of the following two ways:

 Aerospaceweb.org | Ask Us - Helicopter Yaw Control Methods
To maximize the force of the tail rotor, the rotor is usually mounted on a considerably long tail boom.
Second, while the helicopter is on the ground, the spinning tail rotor is usually low to the ground so that it presents a hazard, often a fatal one, to ground crew.
Although the twin rotor configuration tends to be rather tall, the lack of a long tail boom results in a very short fuselage that takes up much less space.

 Twin Tail Betta (Betta splendens)
The Twin Tail has a split tail, almost giving the suggestion of having two tails.
Twin Tail Bettas are considered labyrinth fish, meaning that although they are equipped with gills, they also have a special organ which allows them to also breathe directly from the air.
The Twin Tail Betta requires a warm, stable temperature, low light level, and a densely planted 10 gallon or larger aquarium.

The Remains of the the B-25's twin tail stabilizers is the only wreckage located at the second impact point, the rest is buried deep underground or badly fragmented.
The fact that this wreckage is so far from the other wreckage gives chilling testimony to the high speed of the crash.
The twin tail stabilizers of the B-25 are the only easily identifiably pieces of wreckage.

 Tail Guards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The tail guard will be fitted on the side panels or on the subframe, this depends on model specs.
If you want to use a rear hugger together with the tail guard, you have to check the clearance between the two parts under full suspension compression.
For our tail guards you do not need this bracket, because the number plate must be fitted there direct on the back of the tail guard.

 Blade Helicopter
The twin mount allows you to mount either one motor (just like the stock setup) or two motors for added tail rotor strength and longer life span per motor (since the voltage gets cut in 1/2).
The additional tail weight is insignificant but now the tail motor(s) will outlast most other components of the Helicopter as the brushes can handle the voltage with ease.
This upgrade also comes with a metal tail guard to protect your tail blade; the metal wire guard is inserted into the CNC tail hub base so it will not break or crack the boom.

 Fall Safety - What's New
In the Australian incident it appears that the worker was wearing the twin tail lanyard (also known as a Y-lanyard, twin lanyard, double lanyard or two-legged lanyard) properly except that the unused leg passed under his buttocks, between his legs and was attached to a side D-ring.
As an interim measure, the use of twin tail fall arrest lanyards should be discouraged.
Users of any fall arrest equipment need to be trained in the proper use of the equipment and the equipment is (to) be used and maintained in strict accordance with guidelines provided by the manufacturer.

The design that was to become the Curtiss C-46 began as a response to the development of twin engine, low wing metal passenger planes in the mid-1930s (i.e.
The prototype had a twin tail (similar to the Beech C-45), but after initial flight testing in the spring of 1940, the plane was extensively modified.
One major change was the replacement of the twin tail with a conventional tail design.

 Trailer Baits
I mostly use single tail grubs as stand-alone lures on unskirted jig heads, or I may remove the skirt completely from a spinnerbait or buzzbait and replace it with a single tail grub body.
Another plus is that this curly tail is durable, so you won't lose your tail to fish or snags as easily as with other single tail grubs.
Many anglers feel strongly that the single tail grub trailer represents a baitfish better than the twin tail, but I don't think the bass feel as strongly about this as some anglers do.

After the aircraft had slowed to 160 kph, the wings and tail would return to their normal position, and the pilot would fly the aircraft in a 185 kph glide in descending circles to the airfield.
Primary purpose was to examine the effects of horizontal tail modifications at both forward and mid-range CG locations (obtained by dumping water from an aft ballast tank between test points).
The tail modifications included a fixed strake bonded to the tail boom in front of the stabilator and a span-wise flow fence mounted on the leading edge of each stab at mid-span.

The twin-engine biplane had a 74-foot (22.5-meter) upper wingspan, a 47-foot (14-meter) lower wingspan, twin booms, and a triple tail.
Retractable landing gear was added onto a successor aircraft called the Altair, which made the first crossing of the Pacific Ocean from Australia to the United States between October 20 and November 4, 1934.
He also saw that the future lay with multi-engine planes and pushed for construction of a new plane that would be smaller, faster, and cheaper to operate than the larger Boeing and Douglas planes.

 Twin Air Twin Tail Problem
Did any of you that built the twin tail version have any trouble with warping or twisting because of the outer control rod that is built into the horizontal stabilizer?
This additional bracing eliminates the tendency for the fuse to twist at the tail due to the control rods being above/below each other as they curve into the fuse.
A trick I like to use is my heat gun, carefully, to form the push rod housings to their final shape (or close to it) before gluing them in.

When fished weightless, the fat head and skinny tail design combined with a very heavy concentration of salt gives this bait the density to achieve a perfect horizontal drift to the bottom that predatory fish can not ignore.
Anglers on the tournament trail quite frequently turn to their flippin' sticks, and one of the best baits to flip is undoubtedly the Assalt Ringer Worms.
On the Ringer Paddle Tail the mid-section can be easily removed to produce a split tail that will drive fish wild, or it can be left alone as a paddle tail to entice lock jawed fish to bite.

 Maxime Bayon de Noyer Ph.D. Thesis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
At high angles of attack, flow separates at the leading edge of the wings, and vortices are generated at different locations such as the wing fuselage interface or the leading edge extensions.
These vortices are convected by the geometry of the wing-fuselage interface toward the twin vertical tails.
This phenomenon, along with the aeroelastic coupling of the tail structural assembly, results in vibrations that can shorten the fatigue life of the empennage assembly and limit the flight envelope due to the large amplitude of the fin vibrations.
