Research on the Effects of Canard to Aircraft Longitudinal Aerodynamic Characteristics and Wing Loads

In this paper, the total aerodynamic characteristics and the wing circulations of an aircraft with/without canard wings were presented. The results of three types of aircraft wings were given from resolutions by ARGON and MAAERO software. The effects of canard to the aircraft aerodynamic characteristics and wing load distributions were analyzed. Several important concluding marks have been achieved and these results could be applied in aircraft design.
