When it comes to fluid mechanics don't be obsessed by tail's story



Just to make thing more clear and easier : the path to supersonic speed at those time went troughs symmetrical airfoils then to the all flying tail (AFT) unit. I am not sure that a full array of Bell and NACA engineers would hve been fooled such a way to design the X1 with a conventional tail if it could hve not fly faster than Mach 0.66 (compressibility).

idem for the F86 with thckness ratio decrease then AFT

I don't think you understand what I mean man, but I'm afraid I'll have to give up on this, since you don't really seem to read the answers, you just wait to reiterate your theories..
