| I don't know what you had to do to make it run under VAX Basic; I
ran it without changes (I think) under RT-11, back when it was
published in the June 1984 MA. My old copy can be found at
CHGV04::DISK$RGK:[ROCKETS.PROGRAMS]CANARD.BAS. I'll see what I can
find for you re the test data.
BTW, my NEUTRA.FOR (same directory) does similar for conventional
AND canard aircraft. You might check and see how the results
compare between the two. For a conventional tail, the tail moment
is the distance from the wing TE to the stab LE. Nothing changes
for a canard, except the measured distance is now NEGATIVE, and
includes both wing and stab chords!

| 692.2 | canard data... | CHGV04::KAPLOW | Set the WAYBACK machine for 1982 | Tue Sep 13 1988 20:54 | 49 |
| I found the magazine this weekend, and finally have the time
to pass it on:
Input data:
Total Span = 57
wing root chord = 11.5
wing tip chord = 9
wing edge tip/root offset = -4
stab span = 23
root chord = 7
tip chord = 5
root offset = 1
tail moment = 16.5
2 vertical fins
fin height = 10
root chord = 9.5
tip chord = 5
root offset = 7
airplane weight = 116 oz
engine size = 0.40 in�
output data:
wing area = 584.25
stab area = 138
fin area = 145
wing a c = 0.66
stab a c = 1.99
fin a c = 5.01
canard cg is 3.55 to 4.26 in ahead of wing le
wing loading = 23.13 oz/ft�
engine loading = 290.0 oz/in�
vee equation = 0.40
fin area is larger than needed
40.25% or 58.37 in� is sufficient.
Just for kicks, I ran the same design thru my NP program, and
got a CG loaction in the same area. Must be right, then :-)

| 692.3 | Thanks for the info | SALEM::PISTEY | | Fri Sep 16 1988 09:05 | 13 |

Thanks Bob, That was just the info I needed.
BTW...... as I remember (being of the non programmer type) all
I had to do to convert the program to Vax basic was to change
some of their commands like ..DISP..(should be print I think)
otherwise you are right it requires very little modifying.What
I should have said was I linked it (does that make sense?)
and it runs very fast and gives me nice looking records for
my files.
Thanks again
Kevin
