@cockpitking: Why do planes have metal plates on their tails? ✈️ It’s to protect against tailstrikes — when the fuselage scrapes the runway. Jets like the A321, 737, and 777 use sacrificial skids and sensors to take the hit, saving costly repairs and keeping flights safe. #Aviation #Tailstrike #AircraftMaintenance #Pilots #FlightSafety
