According to one embodiment, an empennage attachment system features an aft attachment mechanism (164) and a forward attachment system (200). The aft attachment mechanism (164) is configured to be coupled to a tail section of a body of an aircraft (100) and to an empennage (160) proximate to an aft spar (162) of the empennage (160). The aft attachment mechanism (164) defines a pitch axis (165) such that the aft attachment mechanism (164) allows the empennage (160) to rotate about the pitch axis (165). The forward attachment system (200) is configured to be coupled to the tail section of the body and to the empennage (160) proximate to a forward spar (166) of the empennage (160). The forward attachment system (200) is configured to restrict rotation of the empennage (160) about the pitch axis (165) to an allowable range of motion.
