For those curious, an aircraft with one pair of wings is the aerodynamic equivalent of one pair of legs or wheels. It can work, but it requires careful considerations to keep it balanced. If a conventional aircraft loses its horizontal stabilizer, it will lose that balance and nose up or down uncontrollably. Aircraft that have no horizontal stabilizer usually use a method in which part of the main wing effectively functions in its place.

Was this late or was it just me?--OceanLord (talk) 20:08, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
- Somewhat late. Yes. But it's all good. 81.179.199.253 20:11, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
- Publishing times are not very consistent. Mid-afternoon Eastern Time is not unusual. There have been quite a few times when it didn't arrive until late night, and occasionally even after midnight. Barmar (talk) 20:12, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
