And unlike elevators they also increase lift, and help to avoid stalls too...

Rgds, Enrique


I`m courious about the stall issue here.
Can you explain me how the canards can avoid stalls?

Canards help avoiding stalls mainly because of a low pressure vortex that flows over
the wing. this vortex lowers the pressure over the wing and delays the flow separation (stall) at high angles of attack.
