Abstract

Analysis will be done to compare the aerodynamic performance of different cases of canard configurations for FSW (Forward
Sweep Wing) aircraft. This will include no-canard case, Forward Sweep Canard (FSC) configuration and Backward Sweep
Canard (BSC) configuration. The effect on aerodynamic characteristics due to canard will be investigated as canard can
immoderately amend the surface flow pattern of main wing. This will reveal the vortex interaction and mutual coupling
between the canard and main wing; lift characteristic and drag characteristic in respect to all the given cases. Configurations
of different cases will be expressed in terms of velocity vectors and pressure patterns. This investigation will further examine
the consequences due to high angle of attack and low angle of attack. The alternating results owning to canard shape, high
angle of attack and low angle of attack on aerodynamic performance of different cases will be illustrated
