This paper reports on a wind-tunnel test where load distributions were obtained at transonic speeds on both the canard and wing surfaces of a closely-coupled wing-canard configuration. The investigation included detailed component and configuration arrangement studies to provide insight into the various aerodynamic interference effects for the leading-edge vortex flow conditions encountered. Data indicate that increasing the Mach number from 0.70 to 0.95 caused the wing leading-edge vortex to burst over the wing when the wing was in the presence of the high canard. For some of the outboard span locations, the leading-edge vortex reattachment streamline intersects the wing trailing edge inboard of these span locations, thus, the Kutta condition was not satisfied. In general, the effect of adding a canard was to reduce the lift inboard and somewhat increase the lift outboard similar to the trends that would have been expected had the flow been attached.
