For better maintenance access, the small tail of the aircraft could be removed to work on or remove the engines. The X-4 had no horizontalstabilizer in order to avoid interaction of shockwaves between the wings but had a vertical stabilizer and rudder. It weighed 7,820 lbs. Today, both X-4s remain in existence.
