An aircraft having an empennage rotatable about a longitudinal axis via an electric motor drive is disclosed herein. A pair of horizontal stabilizers extend from opposing sides of the rotatable empennage and are independently rotatable via electric motor drives. The rotatable empennage is operable for controlling yaw, pitch and rolling moments without a traditional vertical stabilizer and rudder system which can reduce weight as well as the radar cross section of the aircraft. This technology can also be applied to a weapon control system such missile such as a missile.
