   Shouldent the Canard carry 25 0/0 of the load ? Virg


Probably that rule does not apply to three surface air-planes.

The canard is generally used to carry trim loads only, that includes increases in CsubM of the flaps when they are deployed. This allows use of large fowler type flaps with zero change in pitch trim through the range of flap settings. The canard still acts as a 'stall fuse' to eliminate the potential to get into a deeper stall.
