Statement I: A canard foreplane is stabilising in pitch.

Statement II: A lifting surface ahead of the centre of gravity contributes a nose-up moment with increasing angle of attack.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer.

  • A.Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  • B.Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  • C.Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  • D.Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Answer: C

The second is correct and it is exactly what makes the first false: a destabilising contribution is what a surface ahead of the centre of gravity provides. Canard stability comes from placing the centre of gravity well forward instead.
