The large fixed dihedral stabilizers provide yaw control as the wing has no dihedral of its own for yaw coupling.
The large vertical and horizontal stabilizers on the tail were replaced by low, curving V-shaped ruddervators.
A large hydraulically operated stabilizer is installed in the rear of the chassis and is lowered with the vehicle in the selected firing position.
If T is a vertex v and m has a non-trivial factor m, then mT has a larger stabilizer than T, contradicting maximality.
The solar panels were directly affixed to the wing and large horizontal stabilizer, both of which had to be flat on top to accommodate them.
The aircraft is of "canard" configuration, using a large horizontal stabilizer forward of the wing in a manner similar to the Wright brothers' successful "Flyer" aircraft.
Block 15 was the first major change to the F-16 with larger horizontal stabilizers.
The first prototype of the Mystere-Delta, without afterburning engine or rocket motor and with an unusually large vertical stabilizer, flew on 25 June 1955.
At first the designers concentrated on the twin-rudder arrangement that had been taken from the 110, and replaced it with a new and much larger single vertical stabilizer.
Later modifications included strengthened landing gear and larger vertical stabilizers.
