1. Canard (aeronautics)In aeronautics, canard is an airframe configuration of fixed-wing aircraft in which the forward surface is smaller than the rearward, the former being known as the "canard", while the latter is the main wing. In contrast a conventional aircraft has a small horizontal stabilizer behind the main wing. The early aircraft Santos-Dumont 14-bis of 1906, reminded the French public of a flying duck with its shape - no tail and small control surfaces in the front.
