Abstract
An aircraft includes a fuselage with structural interfaces for connection to any one or more of a variety of vertical tails, horizontal tails and canards. Vertical tails, horizontal tails and/or canards of different sizes, shapes, sweep angles, box chords, and/or root chords may connect to the fuselage without changing the structural layout or configuration of the fuselage structural interfaces.
