Summary

Numerical methods have been developed for the prediction of aerodynamic characteristics of canard wing configurations by considering both attached and separated flow over the canard surface; the flow over the main wing surface is always assumed to be attached. Experimental tests have been conducted in a low speed wind tunnel to compare the theoretical results predicted by the numerical methods. The comparison shows good agreement up to approximately 16° incidence.
