Zusammenfassung:In one embodiment, a vertical stabilizer (500) comprises an airfoil structure (510) configured to be mounted to an aircraft (100) at a vertical orientation. The airfoil structure comprises a leading edge (502) and a trailing edge (504), wherein the trailing edge (504) is configured to form a blunt shaped edge. The airfoil structure (510) further comprises a root end and a tip end, wherein the airfoil structure (510) is tapered from the root end to the tip end. The airfoil structure (510) is also cambered. Finally, the airfoil structure (510) is further configured to be mounted with a rotor (130), and is also further configured to house one or more internal components associated with the aircraft.
