10/28: Next generation fighter

it seems to my lay mind that the differential approach you're talking about would result in greater drag, as well as being more complicated with greater chance of failure, than a vertical stabilizer/rudder approach. Maybe not appreciably, especially if you can do without a large projection such as vert stabilizer(s).

you use such big words...brain hurt..

so are you an aero eng, or is this ground school stuff?
