AIRCRAFT FRAME FOR TAILSTRIKE ANGLE ENHANCEMENT

摘要

A wedge frame for an aircraft that provides tailstrike angle enhancement. The wedge frame has converging, non-parallel faceplanes that tilt a rear portion of the aircraft fuselage upward in order to prevent or reduce risk of the tail of the aircraft striking the ground during takeoff and landing.
