Aircraft wih tail in front and wingtips point up?
- Thread starter Red Fang
- Start date
its called a canard aircraft
this type of plane attracts types who enjoy being out of the mainstream, so this type of person also leans toward using unconventional engines. There is a group of people who try to use wankel rotary engines, some being successful and others not. They tend to run very hot and are quite difficult to keep cool at altitude and they sound very different than a normal engine.

its actually a very efficient design, its nearly impossible to stall the rear wing. when the front wind stalls, the plane will just point down a bit until it creates lift again but the rear wing never stalls.
This one is actually the fastest twin turbo prop general aviation aircraft made, its also the most fuel efficient in that class and has a larger cabin than the comparable beechcraft king air. So, I wouldn't characterize it as being impractical, its just a different design that never really caught on with the large aircraft manufacturing companies.

Even several of the Russian fighter jets have these front winglets
and the chinese too
and the chinese too
I love plane
pretty sure the front canards help cut the turning radius too, but this puts a lot of stress on that particular spot.
Ruskies seem to abandon it in favor of thrust vectoring in the SU-35B
But those lift wing canards are cool.
This would trip me out if i saw it

Holy DOG SHIT

The Su-47 has thrust vectoring and a canard!

Those wings look to be inverted by 'shop. Look closely at the leading edge - WTF! Ailerons at the front of the wing??? Something (aerodynamically) wrong w/ this picture!
The reverse swept wing looks cool tho...
Peace

Take a closer look at that photo above , look real closely at the purported leading edge of the wing and say to yourself " what's wrong with this picture?" Then look at the trailing edge and ask yourself the question again.

Picture is Shopped-n-Chopped all over.....
Grumman made an experimental forward swept wing aircraft

those planes fly over my house all the time, and YES, they sound alot different then other planes, alot louder......
i like looking at all the planes that fly overhead when im outside working on stuff, im sure im under an approach path....
within 20 miles of me is, 3 international airports and almost a dozen smaller ones...
correctly orientated wingtips.
well, I guess this one is photoshopped too
and this one
and this one too
Its a real airplane, called the sukhoi s37, a research aircraft designed to explore post-stall maneuverability and supermanuverability.

What you are noticing is a leading edge wing slat, which lowers the stall speed for that portion of the wing. Even the big airliners have them, except those extend for the whole length of the leading edge.
thats one of those Honda Jets,,A aircraft with a similar design with props would be a piaggio
