Canard PC Canard PC Canard PC is an independent magazine founded in France in 2003 devoted to PC gaming and published bi-monthly. Canard PC title is a paronym from Canard WC which is the French name for Toilet Duck. "Canard PC"s independence from the game companies is recognized in the French video gaming circles. Canard PC has a sister magazine, "Canard PC Hardware". Independent studies have shown that "Canard PC" reviews many games not mentioned by other magazines or websites specialized in video games, and has a strong variation in its review scores.

Canard (aeronautics) added to an otherwise unstable design to obtain overall static pitch stability. To achieve this stability, the change in canard lift coefficient with angle of attack (lift coefficient slope) should be less than that for the main plane. A number of factors affect this characteristic. For most airfoils, lift slope decreases at high lift coefficients. Therefore, the most common way in which pitch stability can be achieved is to increase the lift coefficient (so the wing loading) of the canard. This tends to increase the lift-induced drag of the foreplane, which may be given a high aspect ratio in order
