First Flights with Neil Armstrong - Season 3 Episode 4 Tail First Flying - the Canard
0.00 48 minutes When the small tail surface wings which enable an airplane to go up or down are moved to the front, they are called canards. It is a technology as old as manned flight — the Wrights used canards on their early airplanes. Canards were rarely used after the first World War until computer technology provided the control needed to make the technology feasible.
