This study concentrate on the control features and moddelling of the tail considering wing-tail interaction. New generation meshless numerical method is utilized and based on which the transient and cycle-averaged flow structure and aerodynamic force of the tail are analyzed. An analytical tail control force model is finally proposed and validated by simulation method.
