Canard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In aeronautics, canard (French for duck) is a type of fixed-wing aircraft in which the tailplane is ahead of the main lifting surfaces, rather than behind them as in conventional aircraft. The canard surface normally produces positive (upwards) lift which adds to the overall lift, whereas a conventional tailplane normally produces a downforce, partially cancelling the lift from the main wings.

Canard Encyclopedia Article, Information, History and Biography @ LaunchBase.net In aeronautics, canard (French for duck) is a type of fixed-wing aircraft in which the tailplane is ahead of the main lifting surfaces, rather than behind them as in conventional aircraft. The canard surface normally produces positive (upwards) lift which adds to the overall lift, whereas a conventional tailplane normally produces a downforce, partially cancelling the lift from the main wings. Careful design of a canard aircraft can make it effectively "stall-proof" - the canard surface stalls first which tends to pitch the nose down and prevent the main wing from stalling. www.launchbase.net /encyclopedia/Canard   (536 words)

Auto Pilots Stiles' own design, pursued as an ongoing student project at the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, where he is an assistant professor of mechanical engineering, proposes pivoting canard and main wings that overlap the car body for ground travel. Taylor was impressed with Fulton's incarnation of a winged automobile--as was the Civil Aeronautics Administration, which later awarded it a type certificate, the first of only two flying cars ever certified for production (the other was Taylor's Aerocar). Fulton's craft flew well enough to be certified by the Civil Aeronautics Administration, and, with its propeller detached and flight unit removed, drove well enough to negotiate city traffic. www.airspacemag.com /ASM/Mag/Index/1996/DJ/ccsf.html   (4062 words)

The Homebuilt Submarine This is the story of two pilots who literally get out of their depth...trying to base the design of a submarine using only their knowledge of aeronautics. The linkages to the control stick consisted of a simple pushrod connected from the stick to a bellcrank on the canard's tube. It's the story how, for one summer, I was the skipper of the only submarine in North Dakota. www.wanttaja.com /avlinks/sub.htm   (4062 words)

RAF developed and marketed innovative "canard" airplane designs for aviators interested in building their own light craft at home. Beech Aircraft Corporation bought SCI in 1985, and eventually became a subsidiary of the Wyman-Gordon Corporation in 1987, retaining Rutan as President and CEO. www.nationalaviation.org /website/index.asp?webpageid={F3401AC2-408C-42A7-AD0F-CDDC7942F110}&eID=389   (1029 words)
