Rafale Winged Belgian F-16C

His positioning of the canards on the engine intake is precedented off the CCV Viper, among other ones that featured canards that were mounted on the engine intake area, generally canted downwards.

That explains it  but I thought the CCV had a ventral one which hung down vertically.

IIRC it did at one point. The ATFI test plane had canards as well. On both the CCV and ATFI i think they were tested with canards at such steep ahedrals that they would have looked, from the side, like ventral rudders (or at least functioned only as such).

I just didn't really feel angled canards that much as it didn't look right.

BTW, about pics, my camera's bitting shricks and my cellphone won't link up with my computer, so they'll be delayed.

If I recall, the Viper Canards were about 45-60 degrees downward cant on them, somewhat like the tails on the J-10, but mounted forwards.
