halefinne


Definition from Wikipedia:
Halefinnen på et fly anvendes til at stabilisere flyet sideværts, til at dæmpe svingninger om højaksen og som fæstepunkt for sideroret. Halefinnens store lodrette flade er oftest malet for at angive flyets ejerskab. Da halefinnen er det øverste punkt på flyet, er der anbragt diverse antenner på toppen.
