The canard design dates back to the glider designs of the Wright Flyer, and can still be found on a few modern civilian and military aircraft. Though few were made, the Beechcraft Starship is a great example of an aircraft with a canard design. Most canard designs incorporate a horizontal stabilizer in front of the main wings, providing lift for the nose instead of the previously presented aft horizontal stabilizer which provides tail‐down force.
