The Tail Connector B is a part introduced in version 1.0. As the description suggests, it is a simple variation of the Tail Connector A. This is a part with only one node connector meant to attach to the tail of an aircraft. Its purposes are aerodynamic and structural. This variant provides more ground clearance during take-off.
Usage
This part is typically used on the tail of a plane. It adds to the craft's mass, but decreases the drag, making it a good place for tail fins and winglets on planes designed without a centerline engine. This part does not store fuel.
It can also be used for connecting 1.25m diameter engines (such as the LV-T30 Liquid Fuel Engine) radially on a fuel tank when the attachment node is rotated to face downwards, where engines are placed.
