Default What does flying mean?

Real.

I've seen referencs to "such and such an aircraft has a flying tail". I
imagine it means "out of the slipstream", but it sound sort of dumb to
me. Is it more than marketspeak? Does "flying tail" actually mean
something?


A flying tail means it isn't a separate stabilizer and elevator. The
Cessna Cardinal has an all flying tail. I believe the Cherokees do also.
