Twin tail design (ercoupe, etc.)
I am looking for design criteria for twin tails vs. conventional. For
instance, what is the usual ratio of area for twin vertical fins vs. a single one--1:1? If anyone knows this ratio for the Ercoupe early models vs the M-10, that might be helpful. Any old aeronautical design books deal with this? Thanks! |

Kinda doubt the 1:1. look at the difference between the B-24 and PB4Y.
