"A survey has been made of some of the factors to be considered in the design of canard aircraft configurations. The factors include Mach number and angle-of-attack effects as well as the effects of various geometric changes. Among the geometric variables included are the effects of wing plan form, wing height, wing twist, canard plan form, canard area, canard moment arm, forebody length, afterbody length, forebody deflection, vertical-tail plan form, vertical-tail size, vertical-tail location, and various ventral-fin arrangements" (p. 1).

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
