Hi all,
Ok here's an example. UK members may remember a 'Time Team' investigation into two B-17s that crashed in England after a mission in 1944.
In cloud, one B-17 cut off the tail of another B-17. The B-17 with no tail fell vertically. There were vertical penetrations of the engines, fuselage and wing into the ground.
An aircraft without a tail section will dive towards the ground until it meets mother earth.
This is because the new centre of gravity of the aircraft precludes any variation.
Best Regards,
MB_Avro.
