Canard will provide longitudinal static stability.(a) False(b) TrueThis question was addressed to me in exam.Question is taken from Longitudinal Static Stability and Control-2 in section Stability, Control, and Handling Qualities of Aircraft Design

Answer»

The correct option is (a) False

Best explanation: Canards are typically used to provide longitudinal instability. Canards are located at the FORWARD SECTION of the aircraft. They are located ahead of the CG of aircraft typically. Hence, if some disturbance is GIVEN then, it will not have initial tendency to RETURN to its original equilibrium position. Hence, it will not provide static STABILITY.
