[FONT=宋体] [/FONT]Hi,
[FONT=宋体] [/FONT]
I use conventional tail. The horizontal tail has AR=4. Since it stalls too early (AoA for CLmax is too small), I’d like to taper it so that its root has a lower AR thus could stall at a higher AoA. I’m wondering how to calculate the tapered ratio I need to put on it?

What’s the drawback of tapering it?

I'm also wondering, after I taper it, shall I swept it? What are the advantages and disadvantages if I make it forward swept (to have a straight leading edge) or backward swept it (to have a straight trailing edge), or not swept at all? What are the considerations?
