To get
low induced drag, you need the sum of all lifting surfaces to have an elliptical lift distribution. Lemme display my ignorance here. I always thought that the elliptical lift distribution minimized wingtiptip effects. That being the case (ignoring the wake of the canard for the moment), then each wing should have an elliptical lift distribution. When you toss in the wake effects, is having the sum of all lifting surfaces give you an elliptical distribution a handy approximation, or is it what you really want from first prinicples? thanks Ed Wischmeyer currently building the C-frame table for the RV-10 project
