The lateral flow characteristics in the region of a vertical tail have been investigated experimentally and theoretically at low subsonic speeds. The effects of changes in wing-body geometry such as nose position and shape, fuselage cross-sectional shape, and wing vertical position are described. The theoretical model which approximates the separated flow phenomena by a simple cylinder-vortex flow is described in an appendix.
