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, is it aspect ratio, sweep angle, cross section? The Long-EZ has a straight canard and a tapered, swept main wing yet some jet canards are as swept as the main wing I’m looking at applying this idea to a RC model aircraft to give it better performance Just an amateur rc hobbyist
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
aircraft design - Why is the Tu-144 the only commercial airplane with . . . On the Tu-144 vortices originate from the canards Canards are not seen on subsonic aircraft because the wing is optimized for subsonic speed, and can deal with low speed using slats and flaps (which is a kind of variable geometry) Canards are seen on military aircraft for two reasons: The one mentioned above
Why were canards added to some variants of the Dassault Mirage III? The original delta Mirage was designed as an interceptor, basically to get there as soon as possible and try to stop a threat such as a nuclear bomber Speed was important above all else (except of course having enough stability to fly, where deltas also excel) Canards are added for maneuverability for use as a point defender As range is not critical for this task, the design remains viable
