Contra T-tail: Huge torque forces.


I know what force is and what torque is, but what's ``torque force''?
I see no significant difference in the pitch torque generated by a T
tail and a conventional tail (apart from a minimally longer arm for a T
tail on a given typical glider design).

Am I missing something?
