I think the ''T-Canalizer'' is just the design tactic of someone who can't commit to a biplane!! lol
What does it do? What are the aerodynamic principles??
It's a flow straightener for spiral slipstream placed at the center of pressure (more or less) so it has no yaw moment arm.
OK.. Placed horizontally (rather than vertically) so there are no yaw stability issues to contend with?? (Hmmm.. a verticalizer would be like a
SFG no??.. prolly not good for cross wind???)
