A tail strike occurs when the tail of an airplane contacts the ground during take-off or landing. These incidents can result in significant damage, especially if they occur during landing when there is usually a more forceful impact on the ground. First and foremost, tail strikes are a safety threat that can potentially compromise the structural integrity of the aircraft in severe instances.
