[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3147254, member: 5412"] To save space on the aircraft carriers, the Phantom’s vertical stabilizer had to be shortened. This had a negative effect on the directional stability of the aircraft. To correct the problem the tailplane was bent down (anhedral). This exposed the tailplane into the air flow much like ventral fin, increasing the stability. You can see a similar design in the British Harrier.
