Hi Bill

There is nothing special about a canard as far as JSBSim is concerned.

In flight there is a problem if the main wing stalls before the canard
surface. If this happens this results in  is a nose-up pitch, which deepens
the stall.

Many years ago (1970)  I produced a set of aero data and simulated the
Lockspeiser LDA01 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AWw0_Osl5U on our company
flight simulator (BAC Weybridge) .  I produced the aero data by hand
(i.e.using  graph paper and slide rule) using the RAeS data sheets, which
were the UK equivalent of paper Datcom.

David  Lockspeiser, the constructor/designer/test pilot of this aircraft was
a colleague at work and was one of the team of test pilots available to me
for company work on the simulator.   My predictions were a reasonable match
to the wind tunnel results, and to the aircraft handling when he flew it..

Alan
