There’s a hydraulic panel that comes out of the tail section that protects the tail during a tail strike. It’s always out when the gear is down and comes up when the gear is retracted. Doesn’t happen often but it does happen - that’s what that panel is for. In reality you don’t want it to happen - have to buy beer for the crew if you do LOL
