A stabilization system for an aircraft includes a rear stabilizer system. The rear stabilizer system is disposed in a rear portion of the fuselage of the aircraft. The rear stabilizer system includes a rear rudder having a tilt fan configured to generate lift. The rear stabilizer system is configured to detect a failure of an engine and activate an emergency mode. The instructions when executed cause the system to receive flight dynamics from an onboard sensor; determine an existence and a location of the engine failure; and send a signal to the rear rudder based on the existence and the location of the engine failure. The rear rudder engages in a first position. The first position generates counter-torque propulsion towards the engine that failed.
