Canard vs Tail Civillian

canard and tail on the pegasus

I think the tail of the P-400t as shown is quite bizzare. When I did some googeling for it, I found several different versions, once it was a true Canard, sometimes it had three wings, sometimes no Canards at all, and the latest version on Youtube has a T-tail. Looks like, the design team couldnt agree on a final design...

There are only two variants one is flying and it is the Pe-210, it is smaller and it has canards; the P-400T has a triplane configuration.

It has canards and T tail.

There was a 3rd variant but is just a model, it has never been flown and it has canards

The P-400T it has not flown, the version I posted it is supposed to fly next year.

I guess it is triplane because it is heavier and bigger than the Pe-210, I guess they decided to adapt the T tail to off set the heavier tail because it has a heavier aft fuselage.

The small cross section of the long easy was enabled by the pusher design.

...and tandem seats.
