For the modeling of the damaged aircraft, in case of the loss of the vertical stabilizer, lateral/directional stability derivatives need to be reexamined and recalculated.

Adaptive Differential Thrust Methodology for Lateral/Directional Stability of an Aircraft with a Completely Damaged Vertical Stabilizer

Major subcontractors include Northrop Grumman (design and integration of the center fuselage with the weapons bay), BAE Systems in the UK (aft fuselage, horizontal and vertical stabilizers, and wing-fold mechanism for the Navy version), Pratt and Whitney (engine), and Rolls Royce (counter-rotating lifting fans for the F-35B version).

Rising to the challenge: advanced technology lifts Joint Strike Fighter. (Aerospace)

However, his control inputs were so aggressive that the airplane's vertical stabilizer, pictured at right, broke off the airframe and fell into Jamaica Bay.

Maneuvering Speed: Combining the loads imposed by maneuvering with those encountered in turbulence can exceed structural limits

For instance, ice may have been building on a roof comm antenna, came off at once and smacked the vertical stabilizer.

Tips for next winter's ice

Had the hatch come loose in flight, it may have severely damaged the vertical stabilizer - outstanding catch!

Crew chief safety: award of distinction

The large block letters "ND" are centered on the vertical stabilizer with a red tail band and the words "Happy Hooligans" surrounded by a narrow white border at the top.

Was there a reason

An aircraft's tail fin is known as a vertical stabilizer. The horizontal stabilizer is what appears to be small wings at the rear of an airplane.

Setting it Straight

Investigators allege Fuji Heavy Industries, which engaged in manufacturing the main wing, tail assembly and vertical stabilizer of the US-1A, which was introduced in 1975, bribed Nakajima for preferential treatment.

Fuji Heavy Industries chairman arrested in bribery case

To make the imaging device work in such varied locations as Air Force flight lines and maintenance hangars, Lockheed's Dynamics and Control Laboratory in Palo Alto is developing a 10-foot-tall robot that will move an X-ray source and an X-ray camera over opposite sides of an airplane wing, horizontal stabilizer, and/or vertical stabilizer. The robot also will precisely align the X-ray source and CCD at different angles so that the images are clear enough to record potential problems.

Digital radiography tests aircraft fatigue

The empennage section's vertical stabilizer upper portion was damaged, but the horizontal stabilizers were intact.

Spin recovery failure: it can be difficult to fully understand spin recovery techniques if we never actually perform them

The aerodynamically balanced vertical stabilizer extends to the bottom of the fuselage, providing decent yaw control.
