Regarding Soviet style Vertical tails. Why is it designed differently? What I mean is the Mig29/Sukhoi 27 series Vertical tails, where at the top they angle downwards instead of straight horizontal. This is not the same as any US or Western aircrafts. It seemed unique to these russian fighter.
Whats the design preferences to the the Russians, n were they designed that way? Does it give any edge?
I've always wondered about this, but never brought it up. Hope you guys know.
