Keywords: flapping wing, horizontal tail, pitching, plunging

Horizontal tail is an important part of MAV which affects MAV’s stability and maneuverability .This paper discusses influence of flapping wing’s motion to the horizontal tail through comparing the horizontal tail lift coefficient in steady and unsteady state.Some influences in diffenent styles motion are disscused as follows
