Canard

An aircraft having the horizontal stabilizer forward of the main wing rather than in the conventional position behind it. Canard aircraft are theoretically more efficient because both the horizontal stabilizer and the wing provide upward lift. The horizontal stabilizer of a conventional aircraft provides downward lift to stabilize the aircraft resulting in an overall decrease of the aircraft's total lift.
