Editing T-tail (section)

==Adoption==

The T-tail can often be found on military transport aircraft, such as the [[Airbus A400M]], the [[Boeing C-17 Globemaster III]] and the [[Embraer C-390 Millennium|Embraer C-390 Millenium]]. It was used in the 1950s by combat aircraft such as the [[Gloster Javelin]], [[McDonnell F-101 Voodoo]], and [[Lockheed F-104 Starfighter]] [[interceptor aircraft|interceptors]], and on the [[Blackburn Buccaneer]] [[attack aircraft]].

T-tails are often used on regional airliners and business aircraft, especially when rear-fuselage-mounted turbofan engines are used.  

In the 1960s, T-tails were used on the [[BAC One-Eleven]], [[Vickers VC10]], [[McDonnell Douglas DC-9]],  [[Boeing 727]], [[Fokker F28 Fellowship]], [[Ilyushin Il-62]] and [[Tupolev Tu-154]]. It has been used by the [[Gulfstream Aerospace|Gulfstream]] family since the [[Grumman Gulfstream II]]. It has been used by the [[Learjet]] family since their first aircraft, the [[Learjet 23]]. It has also been used by the Embraer's [[Embraer Phenom 100|Phenom 100]], [[Embraer Phenom 300|Phenom 300]] and [[Embraer Legacy 450/500 and Praetor 500/600|Legacy/Praetor]] business jet families.  

In the 1970s it was used on the [[McDonnell Douglas MD-80]] and [[Ilyushin Il-76]], as well as the twin turboprop [[Beechcraft Super King Air]]. In the 1980s it was used on the [[Fokker 100]] and the [[British Aerospace 146]].

In the 1990s it was used on the [[Boeing 717]], [[Bombardier CRJ|Bombardier CRJ-Series]], [[Embraer ERJ family]], [[Fokker 70]] and  [[McDonnell Douglas MD-90]], as well as the single turboprop [[Pilatus PC-12]].

T-tail is especially popular on modern [[Glider (aircraft)|glider]]s because of the high performance, the safety it provides from accidental spins, and the safety it provides the stabilizer and elevator from foreign object damage on take-off and landing.
