I now realize that we/I have managed to thoroughly hijack two different @Whack_a_Mole threads about airplanes. And that my long-winded post above really only makes sense to laymen within the context set in WaM’s other thread:

Airplanes: Why aren't V-Tails more common?

Most airplanes we see have a typical vertical rudder and horizontal stabilizer setup. Some planes, however, have a V-tail setup. Get rid of the the three-bits above (vertical rudder and two horizontal stabilizers) and replace it with two stabilizers in a V-shape. In this configuration they do the job of the usual setup with less overall surface area and less drag. There is no shortage of examples of these.
