Handling Qualities of Canards, Tandem Wings, and Other Unconventional Configurations 830763

A brief survey of the handling qualities of canard, tandem wing, and flying wing designs indicates that longitudinal stability and control, lateral/directional stability and control, and stall behavior of these concepts were important factors in achieving pilot acceptance.
