The '''Advanced Canard''' is a [[control surface]] — a [[part]] that generates [[lift]] and deflects to alter a [[craft]]'s [[center of lift]] to aid control of aerodynamic flight within an [[atmosphere]]. It also functions as a small [[wing]] in that it generates significantly more lift than an [[elevon]].
 
 
In contrast to the [[AV-R8 Winglet]] which was designed when KSP only had rockets, the Advanced Canard was intended for use on an aircraft. That intention has not stopped space programs all across Kerbin from using the (slightly) lighter control surface as a rocket stability fin.
 
 
The Advanced Canard offers different dimensions from the Standard Canard, most notably a shorter attachment base. They otherwise have identical stats.
 
 
== Usage ==
 
They need to be mounted curving forward otherwise their function is greatly reduced.
