Abstract:
The invention comprises varying the ratio between the control surface local chord (I) and the vertical stabilizer local chord (L) along the height of the vertical tail (2) in order to adapt the local value of the coefficient of the side lift applied to the vertical tail (2) to a maximum acceptable value of the side lift coefficient.
