Default High speed tail surfaces.
After going to the USAF museum (Dayton Ohio) for about the 8th time I have a question.
Whey are the tail surfaces on some high speed aircraft so thick. ...x-15 especially. The trailing edge is extremely thick and flat. There is no tapering at all.
I have a couple of theories but I want to know for sure. Thanks
