Who uses canards (sp) and do they work? Or, is it strictly for appearance?

 

Trans-Am cars...

They work and look like nice 'cankle cutters'.

 

o my LOL

 

you said cankle , one of my favorite words.....

next to Gunt of course.

 

Well putting ducks (aka canards) on the chin area might help you out if your car goes into the drink..but not sure of any aerodynamic benifits, other than possible lift at higher speeds.... Plus I'm sure it would look really funny...

Vracer111, who couldn't pass this one up...and likes his Canards with orange sauce...lol

Okay this is NOT going to produce lift-at any speed. Unless.... you're going backwards

 

You're right. But put a duck on both sides of the front chin and see what happens when you get into the high speed regions...I garantee you the ducks will produce lift from their extended wings....

 

just got this uploaded

 

now thats a show kaa
