Default Ragged Edges on Airplane Tail

ARDLI is on a distinguished road
I'm trying to mesh the flow field around a certain airplane. Most of it looks OK, but sharp edges like the tail and wing edges get this jagged look to them, and sometimes even get holes all the way through. The attached picture shows the problem. I tried to control this issue with an edge size control, but that hasn't fixed everything (currently a 1e-3 m edge size on the tail leading and top edges).

I'm using a tetrahedral mesh for this part of the computational domain, specifically a Patch Independent method. The only method that has done me any good at all so far is reducing the maximum cell size, but that doesn't completely solve the problem, and drives up my cell count higher than I'd like.

Can anyone please suggest some other possible solutions to this mesh issue?

Thank you.
