terminology - What is a canard? - Aviation Stack Exchange The canards have been used in aircraft for a long time infact, the first aircraft, the Wright Flyer was a canard biplane "Kitty hawk gross" by Attributed to Wilbur Wright (1867–1912) and or Orville Wright (1871–1948)
How are canards designed to stall before the main wing? How are the canards designed to stall first? Canards are normally built with a very high aspect ratio: this gives a quite sharp stall and at a quite low AoA But that's not the whole story Canard design is a sensitive (and also quite interesting) tradeoff among contrasting characteristics
For what program was this Cessna 182 fitted with canards? I want to see if anyone knows what the heck is going on here I was doing a flight out in Palo Alto California recently, and during the run up this Cessna 182 pulled in next to us It appears to
Are canards actually more efficient? - Aviation Stack Exchange Another post here triggers this question; Since I was a kid I have read endless articles about how canards are more efficient because both wing-like surfaces are lifting, whereas a tail surface is
How does the canard plan of the Dassault Rafale work? The forces at play on the canard are, in general, related to the square of the speed of the air moving past them, so if the system allowed the canards to present the same angle to a 300-knot flow as a 150-knot flow, all other things being equal the canard would be under 4 times the stress At 450 knots that canard would be under 9 times the stress
What makes wing strakes desirable? - Aviation Stack Exchange Planes with canards often have the winds further back than a traditional plane (velocity, etc) because the canards are in the spot the wings should be Take a look at the wings on the Concorde below
How do canard flaps work? - Aviation Stack Exchange Note that in case of XB-70, initially, the canard was fixed and the flaps were adjustable; later the canards were made trimmable with the flap deflection set at two positions- 0∘ 0 ∘ and 20∘ 20 ∘
