EAAF RB170-20


EAAF RB170-20

The Eastern Australian Air Force has a few RB170s (Robin Business), specifically the -20 model, shorter than the -10



    I'd say a cruciform or T-tail would be ideal for this design because of the engine exhaust. As it is it'd be partially blowing over the horizontal stabilizer which may have negative consequences for control and thermal stress on the aircraft. A more mellow adjustment might be to move the horizontal stabilizers up on the fuselage a bit and increase their dihedral.

    I am aware of that issue. But I did the tail shadow in such a way that it's very difficult to change it and still have it look alright, or just change it in general
