English term or phrase: canard

Definition from quest.nasa.gov:
a tail configuration (two small horizontal surfaces on either side of the aircraft) mounted toward the front of the aircraft, rather than at the rear.

Example sentence(s):

The acute angle between the fuselage and the canard creates interference drag. Air flow moving past the fuselage"tangles" with airflow moving up and over the canard. corvairq.info/Canard
Moreover, the spin-rate of the fin system is governed not only by the wind vector and canard deflections, but also by the strength and location of the convected canard vortices, whose induced velocity field differentially loads the tail fins at low angles of attack. people.nas.nasa.gov
In addition to its 12-foot-diameter rotor/wing, it has an 8.9-foot-span canard and an 8.1-foot-span horizontal tail. Boeing

canard

Definition from Princ of Flight & Aircraft General Knowl:
In de meeste gevallen blijft canard onvertaald. Soms wordt het vertaald als neusvleugel of hulpvleugel.
De canard of neusvleugel is aan de voorzijde van de romp geplaatst en vervangt het horizontale gedeelte van de staart.

Example sentence(s):

De canard of neusvleugel levert extra positieve lift naast de lift die wordt opgewerkt door de vleugel. De canard zou in dus meer lift en daarmee ook betere vliegprestaties moeten leveren. Echter, dit is niet altijd het geval. De canard wordt meestal vóór het zwaartepunt van het vliegtuig gemonteerd. Daarmee wordt het vliegtuig minder stabiel en ook minder handelbaar voor de vlieger. - Princ of Flight & Aircraft General Knowl
