The FAT-455 Aeroplane Tail Fin is a tail fin for aircraft.

Usage

Tail fins are traditionally placed on the tail of a plane, in order to provide stability on the yaw and roll axis.

Despite this, the FAT-455 Aeroplane Tail Fin generates a decent amount of lift, more than a delta wing, making it possible to use it as a fairly effective lifting surface.

Like all FAT-455 parts, the FAT-455 Aeroplane Tail Fin has a low heat tolerance (1200K), and should not be used in high-temperature conditions.
