Abstract
A system allowing for the connection of boom-mounted stabilizers on an inverted V-tail aircraft where hinge connections are provided between the bottom of each stabilizer and each boom, and an additional hinge connection is provided at the tops of each of the stabilizers at the apex where the two are connected. The movability of the stabilizers together to be joined at the apex avoids costs in engineering and manufacture.
