This thread is located at http://www.lancair-builders.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=65 Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** The ventral fins on the Learjets are, I think, primarily designed to provide a pitch down moment at high angles of attack. T-tail aircraft are prone to deep stall and since the ventral fins are in undisturbed airflow, they remain effective without much if any drag penalty in cruise. There is a Bonanza mod that consists of a couple of small ventral fins that is designed to provide more yaw stability. From what I've heard, they don't do much. *************** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DO NOT REPLY VIA EMAIL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Replies sent by email will go to the administrator of Lancair Builders, not the original poster!
