The effects of the vortical wake shed by a finite span canard on a low Reynolds number airfoil were examined. Aerodynamic performance was evaluated through direct measurements of lift, drag and 1/4-chord pitching moment. Spanwise static pressure and surface film visualization data were also acquired. A reduction in the downstream airfoil drag coefficient and an increase in its lift/drag were noted in the presence of the canard for a wide range of configurations. Static pressure and surface visualization data provided indication of some of the boundary layer characteristics responsible for the drag behavior.
