__defaults__()

def SUAVE.Components.Wings.Vertical_Tail.Vertical_Tail.__defaults__

(

self

)

This sets the default for vertical tails in SUAVE.

Reimplemented from SUAVE.Components.Wings.Wing.Wing.

Reimplemented in SUAVE.Components.Wings.Vertical_Tail_All_Moving.Vertical_Tail_All_Moving.

make_x_z_reflection()

def SUAVE.Components.Wings.Vertical_Tail.Vertical_Tail.make_x_z_reflection

(

self

)

This returns a Vertical_Tail class or subclass object that is the reflection
of this object over the x-z plane. This is useful since if Vertical_Tail's symmetric 
attribute is True, the symmetric wing gets reflected over the x-y plane.

WARNING: this uses deepcopy to achieve its purpose. If this copies too many unwanted 
attributes, it is recommended that the user should write their own code, taking 
after the form of this function.

It is also recommended that the user call this function after they set control surface
or all moving surface deflections. This way the deflection is also properly reflected 
to the other side
