Experimental aerodynamic investigations were conducted at the CALSPAN Corporation's transonic wind tunnel to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of several nose-mounted canard wing configurations. Canard position, geometry, angular orientation, and model nose shape were varied systematically to determine their effects on model aerodynamics. Angle of attack was varied from -3 to 12 degrees and Mach number was varied from 0.6 to 1.25. Aerodynamic loads were measured separately for each of the four canards and tail surfaces, and the total model.
