The Weather Vane It mostly comes from the vertical stabilizer (fin) and the sides of the fuselage behind the center of gravity. To help you understand this, imagine a weather vane with the CG as the pivot. Use of Reflex Airfoils Ever notice how many tailless aircraft have wings that curve at the trailing edge?
