In designing my folding wing airplane I have come up with a horizontal stabilizer span constraint of 6’5”, which is a bit on the short side. I figure that I can get more pitch authority by capping off the tips with a twin tail, one fin on either tip of the horizontal stabilizer.
By question is…Are 2 six square foot fins equivalent to 1 twelve square foot fin, or is there some ratio between one and two fins for obtaining the same yaw authority?
