Hmm. The last few have been conventional (SS1/WhiteKnight/GlobalF lyer) but the starship, proteus and boomerang are all canard. As are the UAVs I think. Starship was more than 20 years ago - not sure about the others. Certainly the argument that canards are more efficient or inherently safer has been debunked by now. The Starship was barely faster than a King Air, burned more fuel and had a smaller cabin. It was also significantly more expensive to produce -- however, it did look cool. You may have noticed that Beech has quietly been buying them back and grinding them up. 9B
