So, my latest batch of ideas involve exploring the possible advantages of tandems where the aft wing is a delta.

Will the directional stability imparted by the delta be enough to not need a vertical rudder?

Note the larger aft section under the delta that clamshells ope so you can keep crap back there.
The larger fuselage side area means proper rudders will likely be needed.
