I was wondering if anyone knew the name of the plane that looks like the Grand Caravan but instead of having its standard t shape tail it has a v configuration instead. Just curious because I saw it at my local airport.
Thanks in advance

Caravan's don't have a T tail, and I have no idea what aircraft looks like a Caravan with a V tail.

The only lightweight prop aircraft with a V-tail that I know is the Beechcraft Bonanza V-35.

The Quest Kodiak also has a Caravanesque appearance, but alas no V tail.

Wow, that is kind of an odd plane. I've seen Aero Comps before, but never one with a twin rudder design.

Clever isn't the word I had in mind...the only reason I see for them to do it is needing a bigger horizontal and vertical tail than they had without making them much bigger.

But why not just make an H or U tail or three tails?
