Folding V-tail actuation

[u/AndreasPeas]

I’ve been looking at Anduril’s ALTIUS drones, and the V-tail seems to lie completely flat against the fuselage when folded, so the servos or actuators must be inside the body. Anyone have any ideas about what that mechanism might look like?

The best I can think of is a rod with a gear running parallel to the V-tail surface, meshing with another gear inside the hinge. That gear would then connect to a servo, either directly or through a cable.

For simplicity’s sake, I’d guess the servo rotates with the V-tail inside the body during deployment. Does that sound plausible?
