Abstract
The canard rotor/wing airplane is a kind of new concept of aircraft. The aerodynamic center and windward area of the rotor/wing are functions of azimuth angle. Aerodynamic characteristics of the rotor/wing is also affected by upwash stream of forward fuselage .So, aerodynamic characteristics of the rotor/wing are functions of azimuth angle. Longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of canard rotor/wing vehicle are investigated by wind tunnel test. The results indicate that the unload rotor/wing has strong effect on the plane. It behaves as some oscillating curves and the frequency of the loads is the harmonics of the rotor speed. Amplitude of curves are all above 5% of fixed wing values.
