Which statement about a canard is FALSE?

  • A.The foreplane contributes positively to longitudinal stability
  • B.The foreplane normally carries an upload
  • C.The centre of gravity must be relatively far forward
  • D.The foreplane is usually designed to stall first

Answer: A

A surface ahead of the centre of gravity is destabilising; stability has to be recovered by moving the centre of gravity forward. Designing the foreplane to stall first is a standard safety feature, since it drops the nose.
