    I didn’t get it either, they look pretty cool. According to Wikipedia they are bad for stealth, though.

    Canard aircraft can potentially have poor stealth characteristics because they present large angular surfaces that tend to reflect radar signals forwards.

      Oh well the answer is obvious, as Ellen Mosque once said, no plane is actually a stealth plane because cameras can still see them, so canards obviously don’t make a difference!
