Canard (aeronautics) NASA has also investigated a one-piece slewed equivalent called the conformably stowable canard, where as the surface is stowed one side sweeps backwards and the other forwards. The Rockwell B-1 Lancer has small canard vanes or fins on either side of the forward fuselage. They form part of an active damping system that reduces aerodynamic buffeting during high-speed, low altitude flight. Such buffeting would otherwise cause crew fatigue and reduce airframe life during prolonged flights. Canard aircraft can potentially have poor stealth characteristics because they present large, angular surfaces that tend to reflect radar signals forwards. The Eurofighter Typhoon uses
