The fin on an airplane, typically referred to as the vertical stabilizer, helps maintain directional stability during flight. It prevents side-to-side motion, known as yaw, by providing a surface for aerodynamic forces to act upon. When the airplane experiences forces that cause it to deviate from its intended path, the fin helps realign the aircraft, ensuring smoother and more controlled flight. Additionally, it houses the rudder, which allows pilots to make directional adjustments.
